Summary: A Small Miracle Of Simplicity
Review: Oddly enough, I never read Steinbeck in school. This is even stranger considering I was an English major in college. I guess my profs figured I had already read him in high school.No, I never read him until, on a whim, I checked out a copy of The Grapes Of Wrath from my local library, and found out what I was missing out on. I'm not going to talk a lot about Of Mice And Men here, simply because I suspect there is not a lot to be said that hasn't been said already. I just want to say that if you're someone who avoids reading "the literary stuff" because you think it's going to be too difficult, this is probably the book to change your mind. In prose of beautiful simplicity, Steinbeck tells a story that will break your heart. If you have a heart and a mind, you will probably be impressed with this. I know I was.

Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: This is a story about George and Lennie. George is a small man, he is smart, and underneath it all, he loves Lennie. Lennie is a huge man, but was born a slow man, and he sort of reminds you of the big guy in The Green Mile. Lennie always gets into trouble, not on purpose, but because he likes to pet things, like mice, and sometimes women's dresses if they look like they would feel nice. That's how they got thrown out of a few of there jobs, and is the basis of the book. There is some foul language in the book, but regular working folk don't really mind eachother's bad language, and the bad language brings you farther into the book, like you were actually working on the farm. For a short book, it packs a lot of surprises that I wasn't expecting at all. The end is truly sad, and it left questions, but that's what a good book does in my mind. John Steinbeck really brought you into the minds of both George and Lennie, and described each character very well. I am looking forward to reading Mr. Steinbeck's other novels. Mark_Sigel

Summary: Brilliant
Review: Steinbeck's book Of Mice and Men is one of the most incredible works of American literature. It's a story about how two men try to achieve some semblance of success in Depression-era California. However, all of their hopes and dreams are shattered by the people around them. This is a must-read.

Summary: Greatest Book I've ever read
Review: Of Mice and Men was the greatest book I've ever read. I read this book with my class and I normally hate the books we read but this one was so good, I read it during the summer also. John Steinbeck created an incredible picture of both the setting and the charcters. The ending was so unexpected and such a surprise that many of the people in my class ended up crying along with me. It became my favorite book and I definitly recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Worthwhile
Review: I'm not a big fan of Steinbeck, but I did like the sense of alienation presented in this book. I fell in love with Lennie, and I liked how Steinbeck developed the characters through dialogue and dialect. I recommend reading this simple yet classic tale of George and Lennie. There is something to be learned from every novel.

Summary: Rather misleading title...
Review: I'd pulled up "Of Mice and Men" titles, compared all the prices, and selected the one that was the most economical. I tend to read the top paragraph... NOWHERE did it say this was a "Max Notes" or "Cliff's Notes" version... I went back later, and found it way at the bottom. Put it in the title!
