Summary: A Masterpiece of Literature - 7 Stars
Review: If an index could be created that would measure a book's significance and divide it by the number of words, few books would come anywhere near "Of Mice and Men". This is a book that every aspiring writer (and many active ones) should read and then keep in mind as a guide to packing meaning into every word, every image, every scene, and every character. Absolutely nothing is wasted here.When was the story set? It doesn't matter. This is a timeless tale of people facing adversity and trying to hold on to their humanity. The two central characters care for one another in a way that is seldom depicted this well in writing or on film. "Of Mice and Men" is a story of love and tragedy that ranks right with the Greek classics. After reading this book, you will feel that you walked side-by-side with these characters and saw what they saw, smelled what they smelled, and felt what they felt. Pure brilliance!

Summary: ...
Review: hmmm... from reading everyone else's review... i guess im juz thinking different or misinterpreting the story. From my point of view, I believe that this book's not just written upon the subject of discrimination of our social society, but it is written to show the loneliness of people and the effects of being lonely.. For example, the wife of Curley, the son of the owner of the farm, acts of more flutterishly toward because of her isolated life from the people of the world, and her preference of attention from everyone caused from this loneliness..., and also the old man Candy kept his dog to escape from his own world loneliness. The main characters George and Lennie are also affected by being lonely. George has a habit of petting everything because from petting something you are sure of the fact that you are touching something that is alive, to enjoy the feeling of being next to someone escaping from the loneliness. George also tries to escape his loneliness by thinking of his dream house, where everyone will be happy and satisfied of their life. Of course I'm not saying that the idea of the book is not written upon the subject of prejudice but I'm just expressing my own opinion. So no hard feelings -_-;; lol

Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men" is one of the best books I have read in a long while. The setting of this story is in the south were racism and prejudices are just a way of life. The story is about two men who are trying to reach their American dream of having their own house on there own land. George is the smart one who act as an older sibling to Lennie, a man who is big and strong but has a heart of a four year old girl because he's mentally handicapped. Throughout the novel George is constantly telling Lennie that he would be better of without him. They eventually get to Tyler Ranch their new place of work. While settling in there they make plans to buy the land and house with Candy, an old crippled man. At the farm Lennie is treated with respect from everybody at the ranch except for the bosses son Curley. While on the ranch Curley is always trying to stir things up with the workers, especially Lennie. While the men are having a horseshoe tournament Lennie is inside the barn with the pup he want to get. Throughout the book Lennie is constantly killing small animals on accident. He eventually kills the pup, meanwhile Curleys wife who is a constant nuisance enters the barn and starts flirting with Lennie, while petting her hair Lennie gets frightened and incidentally snaps her neck and runs from the ranch as quick as possible. You must read the book to figure out what happens next. This is a heart-warming novel that once you start reading you wont put it down. I recommend you read this book as soon as possible.

Summary: It's a wonderful classic!
Review: I had to read this book for my American Literature class and I just thought that it was going to be another boring book. I was surprised to find out how wrong I was. Lenny is this guy who is not smart but is strong. George is the "brain" in this duo. These two are the people who are least likely to become friends. They are the typical Freudian friends. I don't want to give any of the good parts away, but this is one of the greatest books I have ever read.

Summary: Heart-warming and sad..
Review: From the first page I fell in love with John Steinbeck's way of writing - his humble and delicate language. In this sweet novel Steinbeck has created an interesting set of characters and he chose to set the novel a few miles south of Soledad (loneliness in Spanish) in the 1930's. It tells the story of the two friends, George (the smart one) and Lennie (the dumb one), whom have no family, and no place that they can call "home". To make a living Lennie and George work on the different farms around, trying to save up money. They have a dream of buying a place of their own. A piece of land where they can grow their own crop and where Lennie can have rabbits. It is this dream that keeps these two friends going. This short novel captures your attention easily. "Of Mice and Men" is a touching and sad story about friendship and the need for everyone to belong. Well written and highly recommended!

Summary: Josh's Reveiw of "Mice and Men"
Review: I personally think that this book was a very good book. Unlike the Grapes of Wrath John really opened up my eyes with this book. It opened me to realize that we all can't help what mistakes we make. We can only be responsible for the actions we take. When i read this book i realized that the world is full of racial prejudice. Not only the African American race or the White Race but as well as the Impaired or handicapped.That is why i think this was good book. The best one I have read. The only one i have read this year....

Summary: OF MICE AND MEN
Review: Have you ever read abook where you could relate to the characters? I have and this is why I liked OF MICE ANd MEN by John Stienback. Ialso like this book because it kept my attention. There weren't many chapters so it made it seem like it went faster. I enjoyed this book but theres one part I don't like. Just as the book got good one of the main characters accidently kills another. I wasn't expecting this. This author has a way of describing characters that made me relate to them. This made the story more interesting, so did the climax. I couldn't put the book down and the climax was the best part. this authors descriptive writing kept my attention with a great chapter book.

Summary: Man's Inhumanity To Man
Review: One of my favorite books I read in high school and later as a teacher. Set in the Depression Era rural South, 2 men, George (smart but not strong) and Lenny (strong but not smart) are searching the countryside for their dream: a little farm that will support them and bring them happiness. They find work as farm hands but encounter prejudice (Lenny is considered a "dummy") and cruelty by a sadistic boss. When Lenny accidentally kills the boss's beautiful wife, George tells the upset Lenny that everything will be ok, to quickly go to their "secret place". The ending is heartbreaking. -- This book can be turned into a wonderful stage play, requiring minimal sets. There is also a vintage movie version which I can recommend. -- After reading "Of Mice And Men" one wonders about WHY people see the need to look down on less fortunate ones, even tormenting them for "not fitting in". In reality it is the bullies who are the misfits. Starved for attention and the need for superiority destroys their human features and makes them more like animals. This book tells us to expell hate from our hearts. I recommend this book to students age 14 and up.

Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: Of Mice and Men is a real interesting and triumphant book. The first few pages were really boring and I was on the verge of quiting the book, but after a chapter it started to get really interesting and exciting. This book really paints a picture in your head of loniness. I feel sorry for the fact that everybody can't experience the drama and effort that John Steinbeck had put in this wonderful/compelling book. This is one great book that everybody should experience!!

Summary: Touching and sad
Review: This book was heart-warming and sad. It is about a man named Lennie who was mentally disabled and always misjudged because of his looks. Ever since he lost his Aunt Clair, who took care of him for most of his life, George, who once told Lennie to jump off a bridge into a river and almost made Lennie drown, took sympathy in Lennie and looked after him to his dying day. Lennie always tried to make George happy and always tried to not disappoint him, but he always messed up and diappointed George. In the story George helps Lennie in his jobs and life. But Lennie never seems to help George to get ahead.
