Summary: A Classic from Day One
Review: Of Mice and Men is one of those books that, having read it, remains in your mind and soul for quite some time. Having seen both movie versions of the book recently prompted me to read this masterpiece once again. The book moves quickly and smoothly; before you know it, you are at the end of it. Relatively short, this book is a delightful way to spend an afternoon.

Summary: I love this audio book!
Review: I think Gary Sinise's reading of Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" is outstanding! He brings each of the characters to life for the listener. It's truly amazing how he can drift from one character to another so easily, keeping the dialogue moving so naturally. The story itself is wonderful. Steinbeck was a very visual writer - describing characters and places in such a way that you actually feel like you have met the characters and visited the places.

Summary: Steinbeck's Best
Review: This is a book that I was recently "forced" to read in school. Traditionally, I am not a fan of having to read anything (especially something that was written fifty years before I was born). But this ended up being the best book I've ever read (okay, so maybe it's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest). The best thing about this book is that it's not too long (so that those who arn't crazy about reading won't feel like giving up), and it's not hard to understand, like some of Steinbeck's other stuff. If you want to read a book by him, this is a great first choice. Read it before you pick up anything else by Steinbeck. And the ending...un-freaking-believable!

Summary: The Strength of Irony Makes this a Masterpiece
Review: As Romeo and Juliet demonstrated that suicide is the greatest expression of love, Of Mice and Men demonstrates that murder is the greatest expression of friendship. Many have tried to ban both these great works from libraries and schools for their powerful ironic message. Read this masterpiece for yourself.

Summary: A review of Mice and Men
Review: My name is Sara Frackelton and I am a junior at Saint Mary's in Raleigh, North Carolina. The novel, Of Mice and Men was assigned to us about 3 weeks ago. I never would have picked up this book if Mrs. Pearson had not required us to do so. I thought the book was touching and emotionally moving. When I finished reading it, I felt like I had lost a friend. Steinbeck created very likable and realistic characters. I also think I have grown after reading Of Mice and Men. I realized how love can hurt and relationships can be on more than one level. George would rather kill Lennie out of love than watch him suffer and live with no freedom. To me, that is true love and companionship with another human being.
