Rating:  Summary: My favorite book! Review: When I first read the book I was in high school, I never enjoyed reading until I was assaigned to read this book. I couldn't put it down at night. This is my all time favorite novel. I think that the book described the true meaning of friendship. Lenny and George were total opposites and what kept them so close was the love they had for each other and their frienship. I also saw the movie and I recommend it. This novel made me cry and laugh. I think that everyone who reads this book will be touched by the wonderful characters. There are so many great written novels and this is definitely one of the best.
Rating:  Summary: Of Mice and Men is definitely a "must-read" book. Review: This book was the best book I have ever read and I hope to read more of his work in the future. I have heard of this book several times and we just finished reading it in my English class. John Steinbeck just described everything in the book from the setting to the hallucinations at the end. We watched the movie that was released in 1992 with John Malkovich and other stars and it was almost exactly like it. It almost seemed like I knew what part of the story it was on. Even though the movie was much different at the end, I really like the book better than the movie. The book gave me a better look at what was going on thanks to the imagination of John Steinbeck.
Rating:  Summary: An excellent portrayal of Steinbeck's novel Review: I read this book back in school and liked it, so when I came across it again I decided to buy the audiocassette version for my husband. Well, he hasn't listened to it yet because I haven't given him a chance!Gary Sinise is incredible. Because of his fine acting, you can tell exactly who is speaking at any given time without having to have it spelled out for you. I have listened to many audio books where I'm constantly rewinding to find out who said what. After listening to this recording, I would honestly consider purchasing an audio book just because it had been read by G.Sinise.
Rating:  Summary: The novel. Review: The novel Of Mice and Men is greatly admired by me. This story of struggle,saddnes,and hope is so amazingly meaningful to me and most other readers. If you truly ponder on the signfigance of the novel it will all come clear to you, as a reader, what the novel is really potraying and what Steinbeck is tring to tell us as a socity.
Rating:  Summary: Touching Book Beautifully Read by Sinise Review: I'm a big fan of Steinbeck, but had never read this book before listening to it on audio tape in my car. I came close to tears a couple of times. Steinbeck made a career of lovingly and vividly describing both animals and people in pathetic circumstances.The story is really moving. Sinise's array of voices is both deep and broad. If you didn't know better, you'd think there were three or four different readers, each with a clear and deep understanding of the character he was reading. This audio book is really an excellent value.
Rating:  Summary: it is an epic tale of how one man works twords his goal Review: The book really mean something to me. it tells me that goal are set by many people. Geogre and Lennie had a magnificant goal. They strived to achive it. Lennie was my favorite character. he made me realize that we are all people and we need to have goals.
Rating:  Summary: A story about loyaltie trust and the american dream Review: This story is one of the best ive seen of recent times.John steinback done well in this book by providing many parrallels and making refrences to lennys animal / child like features and behavour.Perhaps the best parralel in the book is beetween candys dog and lenny.
Rating:  Summary: Awesome book to get hooked on Review: I had to read this book in my 8th grade class and as always I thought it would be another boring book, but I was wrong. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It's mainly about friendship between 2 men and all the good and bad times they both go through together. The ending is sad but it is totally worth reading it. And after you do, you HAVE to see the movie! It's 10 times more better and is somewhat more interesting.
Rating:  Summary: One of, if not , THE best book i've ever read! Review: Of Mice And Men is one of my alltime favorite books. It is so thought provocking, and is a book that should be read by every one. So If You haven't read this book, do yourself a favor, and read it!
Rating:  Summary: It taught me a whole bunch. Review: Of Mice and Men is a book about two men.George a man who is small and quick,he helps Lennie get things straight. Lennie who is huge who is not mentally correct. They have a dream to own a ranch off the fat of the land. I've enjoyed this book and hope to read it again.
