Summary: A philosophical novel that's impossible to put down.
Review: This is the first Steinbeck I've read and I have to say, it was an absolute pleasure. I found the descriptive style curt, while still being beautifully evocative. There is a lovely sense of space and movement to his backdrops.The two characters Lennie and George make for an immediately adorable duo. Lennie's childlike glea and innocence makes you want to just stop and hug him from his very first line. You feel an overwhelming urge to want to protect him from the big bad world that George is all too aware of. The journey details their search for work as farm handlers and their ambition to fulfill their dream of one day owning their own land. Lennie must surely be one of the great literary characters of the 20th century. He's looked down upon as a weirdo by most of the people he meets, when in fact he's too good for them. He deserves better. A philosophical novel that's impossible to put down (I read it in 1 day), I found it a great introduction to Steinbeck. A classic to be recommended without reservation.

Summary: Eric's Great Book Review's
Review: Eric's Book Review for Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" The book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck has two very important main characters. One of which is George Milton, a farm hand who accepts the day labor and who has assumed the responsibility of taking care of his simple-minded friend Lenny. The other is Lennie Small, a large retarded man who has the mind of a child and who loves to pet soft and pretty things. Some other characters include Slim, a sympathetic a man who understands and comforts George when Lennie is killed, and Curley, a small, cocky, arrogant man who is the son of the boss. The setting of this book is in farm areas with few or little towns and vast areas of land surrounding the people that live there. I thought this book was quite interesting and a real page-turner. The book kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what Lennie would do next. I was in shocked to read some of the things Lennie did. Overall I suggest this book for anybody who likes a good book. George had heard of some harvesting jobs that are available on a nearby farm, so George and Lennie decided to walk there. They planned to camp out for the night and be at work the next morning. During the evening George was forced to take a dead mouse out of Lennie's hand because Lennie like to pet soft things. George then reminded Lennie of the trouble he had caused in the other town when Lennie tried to pet a little girl's dress. You must read on in the book to find out what happened during George and Lennie's journeys.

Summary: Of Simple Things
Review: Steinbeck manages to get a few genuine messages across to the reader in the pure simplicity of what Americans call "A classic", what else? Of Mice and Men. First of all, the characters of Lennie and George are rather symbolic. Lennie is big and strong, George smaller sized; Lennie has an enormous heart, and George is the one who calls the shots. Right there is a little knick-knack for any reader. Another is how the book starts and finishes. We have a feeling that how the book started has been repeated over and over again: Lennie and George looking to get some work, to retire and have a farm together. But this time, how this scenario ends is different, and it changes the whole scenario all-together. Simplistic as it may be, the simple things in life, as Henry David Thoreau may have agreed, can be wonderful.

Summary: Classic Steinbeck at his best
Review: In so few pages Steinbeck creates two characters who you fall in love with immediatly. Goerge and Lennie make the perfect pair for the classic Steinbeck book. This is the story of two travelers who have a dream such as anyone else. Along the way they meet both highs and lows as they strive toward their retirement dream. The excellent combinatiion of george and lennie makes for many laughable situations that will make you smile with sad stories that touch your heart. This is one book that you can really get into and feel for the characters. You won't be sorry to read this short novel that is sure to get your applause at the unexpected and imprezzive ending.

Summary: I don't recommend this book.
Review: This Book tells a story about two friends who are looking for a new job near the Salinas River in California. Lenny, who is mentally retarded, and George, the smart one. They had to escape from their last job because Lenny got in trouble. In the new job the story will be repeated, but this time for the last time. The only reason I gave this book a star is because is has a good plot, and because this is happening in the world right now, it is a reality. The main factor that called my attention was the vocabulary and quotations of the characters. This is why I give one star to the book.

Summary: The review of a classic
Review: Of mice and men it's about two friends who work in a ranch in Salinas Valley. George and his simple-minded friend Lennie share a dream. It's to have a place where they can have animals like, rabits. In the ranch they pass through some problems. Lennie, the simple-minded, break the hand of the boss's son, Curley. It's a very discripted book, this make it boring some times. But it have a lot of action, there are fights, murders, etc. It's an intresting thriller book. You won't set down untill it's finished.

Summary: Of mice and men review
Review: Mr. Steibeck has managed to write an exelent novel,"Of mice and men".The novel has a very interesting layout, and it deals with some aspects that are familiar to us in every moment of our lives; lonelyness, authority, dreams, and friendship are the main ones. The book has also a very good and interesting relationship between the main characters, George and Lennie.I think that their relationship is the main plot of the story,but the shocking part is George's last action. I would recomend this book to a teenager because it teaches us how to afront our problems.

Summary: American Classic
Review: John Steinbeck had always been associated with great American Classics. Of Mice and Men is one of these classics it is set in 1930's California on a small ranch. George who with his best friend Lenny lives the lives of itinerant workers. Lenny is the loveable retarded giant who because he is so strong and he can't control his strength when he gets scared he gets into trouble and it's up to George to get him out of it. It is an excellent story dealing with the issues of loyalty friendship abandonment and despair. The book has an excellent array of characters each with their own story to tell form Slim the man with the most respect on the ranch to Curley the sneaky angry little man who's married to a real piece of Jailbait. A truly magnificent story with excellent dialog character description and settings.
