Rating:  Summary: Great classic Review: What more is there to say about this great American classic? I feel like everything has been said. In just one word, it's great. The characters are really well built. You have no choice but to feel their misery. They all have their own little something to add. I don't what i could add except that I really enjoyed this book and it is definetely worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: The Perfect book, "Of Mice and Men" Review: Mr. Steinbeck has created a masterpiece. Short but sweet and moving, "Of Mice and Men" touches our hearts with its interesting characters and the lovable relationship between Lennie and George, which is the very core of the book, highlighted by the loneliness present in every one of the characters. But this friendship is an example which shows that in some relationships you have to do things for the better, even though you know that it is not the best thing; George, who realizes that Lennie cannot be part of a society, brings the book to a very powerful close through his surprising and unexpected action. I recommend this touching, insightful and thought-provoking novel to be read when there is spare time, since once started, it won¡¯t be easy to put down.
Rating:  Summary: My opinion Review: I just finished the book and I think it was interesting. I liked how the author developed the main characters.One had,characteristics the other one needed so they complemented each other.The character that I found special was George because he was a leader who guided and protected the dumb character. The themes in this story were interesting and real.As regards the plot ,I enjoyed it because there was suspense , sensitibity and violence.I believed tha the ending was very good since it was real. However, I didn't like the long descriptions the author included.I didn 't find it easy to read it because of the language used by the characters ,but I realize it was suitable for poor workers with no education.
Rating:  Summary: Read this excellent book Review: I read this book some weeks ago and I cannot stop thinkig about the life this people had to live. George and Lennie are two "itinerant workers", but not as the rest, they have one to look after the other. A very important fact of the book is that Lennie is mentaly retarded and George looks after him. He changes to a parental-figure when he calls Lennie's atention "Give it here". They arrive to a "ranch" where they start meeting people, such as Curly, he is the son of the boss and is really angry with Lennie, maybe because he is larger and stronger. Lennie could't measure his strength and because of this he kills inocent animals such as the little pub. He shared a dream with George, this one was: having a little ranch and rabbits Lennie was going "to pet them". But they couldn't make this dream come true because a horrible thing happend, Lennie killed Curly's wife. She wanted to show him that her hair was fine so she "took Lennie's hand and put it on her head". As he couldn't control himself he stroked it to hard. The ending is really impresing and in some way sad. But why did George do that? Please read this book, if not you will be sorry about it.

Rating:  Summary: This is what I call a book! Review: The book 'Of Mice & Men' is what people should read to understand the situation that the habitants of this small world is suffering: loneliness, violence, love that take people to the death. An authentic book, which many could predict to be bad, but that could be the best of it. Full of surprises, sadness that you will never experience with bunch of papers, the cruelty of love, and the unpredictable final. And questions, millions of questions coming out each seconds from your head, that would not stop even after you've finished the book: Why? What for? Was it the right decision? Didn't he have enough ways to advance? A book that could reach the top. And this, is what I call a book.

Rating:  Summary: Of mice and men Review: This story is about two guys who are itinerant workers,that look for work in ranches.They always travel togethter and always get in troubleand get fired. George who is the main charachter always helps Lennie and tries to solve his problems.'Cause you got me to look after you and you to look after me'. I think that the book deals mostly about Loneliness. All is related to loneliness even the place where they work 'Soledad'. It is suitable for all ages who understand the vocabulary.I liked this book because it is very intereting and emotive
Rating:  Summary: A very disapointing Book! Review: May I use this opportunity to express my strong dissatisfaction at Steinbeck's book "Of Mice and Men". As a story it could have been much more elaborated but, to my dissapointment it was not. Reading the first chapter I was mysled to believe that I was going to find a good and interesting book due to the excellent descriptions. Instead, i found that he used the same style of description during the entire book making it repetitive and boring. Secondly, the only scenes of the book that were, in my opinion, worthwhile ended up being violent "He slashed at Lennie with his left", "Blood run down Lennies face". Finally, the entire ending of the book was my mayor disappointment as, it ends in a way that leaves a great deal of issues unconcluded, such as George's future. I think that the ending is very poor and leaves much to be desired. In conclusion, I believe the story did not live up to standard and I would not recommend it as it gives us a fake idea of what the book will be but, tears it apart as you go deeper into the story.
Rating:  Summary: Of Mice and Men Review Review: In our opinion Of Mice and Men is a book that represents the life of itinerant workers. As we read the book, we started realising how hard life can be when youre living and working on a ranch. We also realised how important it is to have dreams and someone to share them with. 'Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world ' this frase, is what we think what the whole book is based on. There are several characters in the book that feel recognised by this frase. Such as Candy and Crooks. Candy was an old man that had only one hand. Ever since his dog was killed he started feelling empty and lonely. After coming to an agreement with George and Leannie, he became part of their dream. Violence was a key point of this story. There were many scenes of violence and agression. for example: the last one when George finds Leannie in the bushes and then kills him because Carson and Curly were eventually going to kill Leannie since he had previously killed Curleys wife. In our opinion this book was very well written. You couldn't put it down for one second. We hope that we will read another book by John Steinbeck.
