Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: "The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." This quote, by Robert Burns, summarizes the short story, Of Mice and Men. This realistic story, by John Steinbeck, brings vivid images to the reader's mind. The author's technique creates a world in which the reader actually feels as if he is in the story. The reader feels what the characters feel and see what they see. Of Mice and Men is an easy and fun read! Recommended for any age.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An average book
Review: Of mice and Men is good because it is a thin book that tells a long story. John Steinbeck's description fits the incident that is to occur very well. It is straightforward and sounds very true to me. The beautiful world that Lennie and George have imagined is not possible to be obtained at that time. Their tragic end is well painted in the portrait of the circumstance that they are in. It has called upon my sympathy, making me feel naturally how unfair that society is. It is a book that will not take much time to read, but it will definitely tell you something.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A simple but meaningful story
Review: I was fascinated by the name of this book before I started reading it. The story is simple but meaningful. I feel sympathetic and sorry for Lennie, the impeccable "giant". The ending of the book is unexpected but sure. I say "unexpected" because George killed his companion who fully trusted and counted on him. The reason I say " sure" is that Lennie would not be accepted by the society. This is a bit cruel to Lennie, but the world is like this. The setting of the ending is the same as the beginning. I feel serene when I read the ending.

Besides the fascinating story, I was also attracted by the language of the book during my reading. This book is a combination of nature and humanity.

The book is thin, but what I have learnt from the book is much more than what the book seems like.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book was pretty good
Review: I had to read this book for school, so at first I didn't appreciate it. Now, after I finished it, I think it is a great book. I recommend this book to others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A tremendous story by a tremendous writer.
Review: Steinbeck deserves a standing ovation for this book. It tells so much in so few pages. It's a tale about two laborers working at a ranch to merely have something to eat. It quickly becomes more complicated than that, as Lennie - the slow-minded giant - proposes an idea: a house, a farm, and, of course, the rabbits. At first, it's just a dream, but then it becomes a possibilty as they get together with an elderly man who happens to have some money. Of Mice and Men is a wonderful story that reveals life as it truly is, and that reminds us that the people we think are our friends might just become our end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: shattered dream
Review: "~Of Mice And Men is story of two young men (Georgr and Lennie) who travel from ranch to ranch. It was unsual the ranch life, that two men would stick together for so long. The ranch life was a everymanforhimself life, but Lennie and George went through it together. Besides the affection that they had for each other, what held them together was common dream. They dream to buying a little ranch to grow their own crops and animals."~ disorder, while George was a small but meticulous man, who looked after Lennie all the time. I meant almost all the time, until the day that he went to the town (to drink) and left Lennie along in the ranch, and Lennie did something that shattered their dreams (forever).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An incredible Book by Steinbeck.
Review: Of Mice and Men is one of the greatest books I've read in my life.It shows a clear theme of loneliness throughout the story.Lenne and George show a close relationship throughout most of the story.Although Curly's wife was always understood as Curly's wife(because she never had a name in the story.)It was still a great book.Lennie and george always had a dream but obviously in the end george knew it ould never come true.....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book
Review: I enjoyed reading this novel. It taught the true meaning of a friendship. It was the story of a dream that was unreachable, but George kept the dream alive for Lennie, until he was forced to...nevermind I won't tell the ending. Read it, the ending id great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A mirror for society
Review: John Steinbeck must have been a genius. For this book is too true to just simply read and then forget about. "Of Mice and Men" focuses on many individuals, the main characters being George and Lennie. This book has many meanings that stick out like a sore thumb. The main theme being loneliness. This book will leave you numb inside. This book teaches many lessons and is guarenteed to be a favorite for anyone. There are no words good enough to describe it. Read it yourself and you will see what I mean.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truely great book
Review: This was a great book. I enjoyed it from the front cover to the back. Steinbeck's desriptions made you pity the characters you were suppossed to, and hate the characters you were supposed to hate. It's not difficult to read, and the ending was a real shocker. Another thing I like are the hints that Steinbeck drops to foreshadow the futures. There are two events which mirror each other, except for the fact that they are between completely different characters. I won't say what it is, because it will give stuff away. So, all in all, it's a great book, and really deserves to be read.
