Of Mice and Men

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful
Review: I, like most, had to read this book for high school, and I must say, "Thank you Mrs. Wiggin!" I love this book. It is so wonderful and touching. I'm glad kids have to read it for school, because everyone should read this book.

Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: I thought that this book was alright. The only reason I had to read this book was last year the English teacher told me to read it, that it was a really good book and he also said that I might like it and I sort of liked it. I read the book and found out right about at the end that it started to get interested.

Summary: A must read
Review: This book is definatly one of my favorites. I read this book in one sitting, although its short the book tells a lot. Steinbeck is so good at describing a setting that the book draws you in from the begining.

Summary: I didn't undertsand it!
Review: Although this book was very well written, I couldn't understand it very well. I probably would not have finished it if it hadn't been required reading for school. I would think that older kids might be able to undertsand it, but that most of it is too subtle for eighth graders.

Summary: Good book, clever plot, lacking something...
Review: We were asked to do a research project of John Steinbeck, the author of "Of Mice and Men," so I have some knowledge of his background and life. I personally felt that he could have done a lot more with this book, even though everyone in the US (practically) read it. The characters, to me, lacked a personal touch, and even though Lennie and George traveled and lived together, there was something missing in their relationship, along with their relationship to everyone else in the book. They lacked a closeness, a togetherness. The story to, me also felt like it was held together by just a few plot "enhancers." Although Steinbeck described the setting and plot thoroughly, to me it lacked a past, present and future. "Of Mice and Men" did hold my interest and kept me reading past our deadline. I would recommend this book to a reader that doesn't want to get too "involved" with the book.

Summary: It's a nice book for teenagers.
Review: We think that "Of mice and men', is a very sensible story. Frienship caracterizes this book. George shows a very strong affection towards Lenny and he shows respect and admiration towards George. All the characters in this book have a special personality. By reading this book you can realise what friendship is really about.The personalities are very different. Curley, for example: an agresive and unsensible guy, Candy a respected and very sensible person, Curley's wife, a lonely woman, who needs afection. This book also shows many types of themes, such as violence, inocence, love, authority, etc. In this book people get together to make their dream come true "To live of the fat of the land".

Summary: I found this book very interesting.
Review: I read this book as an obligation for school, and as most of the books I read in school I thought it was going to be boring. But it was not, I enjoyed this book very much. I think it is a very original book, with nice ideas and most of all very imaginative and cute characters. The one I most like was Lenny, because besides being mentally retarded, he was a very nice guy. I also like very much the way Steinbeck combined violence with authority and friendship. I didn't know Steinbeck before but I must confess that he is a really good writer, and I would like to read other of his books.
