Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a story that encaptures the essence of true friendship
Review: "Of Mice and Men" is a novel that shows what true friendship is. The love and compassion that George held for Lennie was hearwarming. George fulfilled his obligation toward Lennie from beginning to end."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think Of Mice and Men is a book that shows friendship
Review: I'm only in the eigth grade and i feel Of Mice and Men is the best book i ever read. It's the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The book was O.K. I sort of liked it
Review: I thought the book was o.k. but it didn't really make any sense. The chaacters were all strange and they had no real part of the book except to revole around Lennie and George. But I think people should read it to find out abou how things were in that time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good
Review: "...A riviting novel."

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A brilliant portrayal of human nature
Review: Of mice and men is a brilliant book. Steinbeck is a colourful writer and shows how some men can be compassionate to the weak (in this case weak in the mind!), others passive and worse still, others can be cruel. very powerful!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tough and Touching
Review: The wonderful narrative style that Steinbeck uses here helps to make the book even more brutal and touching. Unlike others, I feel that this book is not too short. In its brevity, Steinbeck has still effectively portrayed the difficulties of the life of ranch hands in the 1930s.

The special relationship that Lennie and George share is especially heartwarming, and is the focal point of our compassion. Lennie's childlike innocence is also enduring and when we see how he has unknowingly killed Curly's wife, we cannot help but feel that George's decision to kill him instead of letting him face the wrath of the mob is the right one. That way he will still die preserving his innocence.

All in all a deeply moving novel that is both heartwarming yet tough and brutal, like the life of a ranch hand.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was a good book
Review: I think Of Mice and Men was written very well and really tells about the harsh times during the Great Derpression. It shows how strong two peoples freindship can really be. The ending was very sad though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous, Amazing, Awesome, and Powerful
Review: Nobody writes like Steinbeck. He has a simplistic easy to read style that is topped by none. This tale was short and fast paced and dealt with important societal issues. If you want to read about ignorance, hate, and amazing human kindness, buy this book. It actually made me cry at the end of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Powerful and Strong
Review: This book shows that sometimes you have to do something that is hard to do, but in the end it will work out for the better. It shows that there are two types of people in the world, the compassionate one and the ignorant ones. It had many strong themes, and I loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Novel will touch you considerably
Review: Well gosh darn, this book touched the inner most chamber of my fat, old heart. The emotion put into the ending is more than breath taking. Just like Lennie's situation twards mice, George loved his freind to death...
