Summary: Absolutely wonderful!
Review: This book never ceases to amaze me. I was never bored by it either. Most expositions in books don't have a very long attention span. I love reading how these two totally different men go around looking for jobs yet never seem to find one. Yet for this book they land one at a farm being farmhands. The ending can be very/not very predictable depending on what type of thinking skills you use, yet the book is great. Get it and you will be amazed as I was too.

Summary: A Classic, by God
Review: The book will always be a classic, for it rings with such authenticity. Like The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men portrays the struggles of California farm laborers in the 1930s. The workers often travel from farm to farm, working sixteen-hour days---bucking wheat, picking cotton, picking fruit---always as employees but never as employers. The men are victims of their society and one nourishes little hope for them. They yearn for things they cannot have, such as social positions, money, land; but they never get them (at least they never hold on to them). Their dreams remain unfulfilled. As a result of their hardships, they become bitter and hardened. Steinbeck's characterizations are superb, and each person is a unique and vital element in the story. The dialogue resonates with truth, the setting and the descriptions are sharp and picturesque, and the symbolism is effective in its foreshadowing of the poignant and gruesome climax. Only criticism I have of the book is Steinbeck's tendency to "tell" rather than "show." He had such talent with description but he insisted on preceding his dialogue with such things as "Candy went on excitedly..." and "'I ain't so sure,' said George skeptically." Other than these distracting "tellings," the book was touching and will certainly remain as one of my favorites.

Summary: Teenager LOVES Of Mice and Men
Review: I am a teenager and I love Of Mice and Men. In a English class of today you are bombarded with feminst literature and other works that you become satiated with this genre. It is a breath of fresh air to get a novel about male bonding and the trials and tribulations of farm workers of that time. Steinbeck adds a hint of a Shakespearen Tragedy to this masterpiece which puts it in the category of great classics to be cherished forever. This novel is a must read and you will enjoy it for years to come. I will end this with a final thought. It is very short and it can be read in a day and is good to use if you have procastinated on a book report. :-)

Summary: I expected worse
Review: This book was way better than I expected. I especially loved reading about the childish things that Lennie did. Whenever you read about his actions, you'll probably let out a little laugh. This is a good read beginning to end. "Which way did he go George? Which way did he go?"

Summary: The Best School Book I've Ever Read!
Review: "Of Mice and Men" is a great book. I never would have touched it, but it was required reading for school. Not only is it short and brief (only 100 something pages), but it is very insightful and thought-provoking. It is hard to place it in a genre, since it very sad, but also sometimes funny. So i guess I'll just say it's a good book. It does not have the kind of storyline I would actually pick to read, but after reading it I learned how much I really enjoyed it. It's really good to occupy time on a long plane/car ride since of its size, and also pretty fast-paced, so you can stay interested. Read this book!

Summary: Broken Thoughts on Mice and Men
Review: I read this book because I somehow missed it in high school. At first I was unsure of the language, but it turned out to be a brilliant use of the vernacular. The things I keep thinking about are these: The attitude that the men have toward animals is very similar to theirs toward women. These are objects of function that can be replaced. The irony is that they recognize themselves as dispensable animals of labor to the land owners, and still regard animals and women and black people so poorly. This is an ingenius illustration of the mechanisms of oppression.

Summary: Movie was better than the Book
Review: I thought that this book was sort of boring, it had many interesting events in the story, but it's not the same as seing the movie. The movie had a great cast and was portrayed very well :)

Summary: An okay read
Review: This is usually read by many high school students and that's how I came across it. Of Mice and Men shows the peculiar relationship between 2 men one being mentally "slow", they travel on farms together. This is a good read and it is entertaining. I only gave it 3 stars because I didn't finish the book with a strong feeling about it.
