Summary: It really makes you think........
Review: I had to read this book for english class, like many other people, and found it a very thought provoking and interesting book. Steinbeck gives us a very literell meaning of "friends till the end" All in all, an incredible book. There is so much meaning in it. I recommend it to anyone who likes thinking about friendship and the way the world works.

Summary: Don't read this book unless you're forced to!
Review: Jeez, was this book strange! By looking at all these great reviews, I felt I had to add my opinion. Steinbeck's a talented writer, that's obvious from the first page. But it had no plot or anything. I guess you either love it or hate it.

Summary: I don't know why so many people liked this book --
Review: By reading this book I now recognise what a brilliant writer John Steinbeck is. He has the great ability to include so much detail that you can see what is happening perfectly, but he keeps enough action going in the process. This style of writing gave him these 2 stars. The topic of this book, however, is very unappealing to me. I felt sorry for poor, retarted Lennie instantaneously. His emmense physical strength seemed very unrealistic, though. This is POSITIVELY NOT a book for a dedicated animal lover: for every animal that Lennie touches dies in this book. It is very graphically done. I don't want to give away the ending or anything, but it was VERY strange. I can't find even one word to describe how strange it was, and how it made me feel. I can only conclude that death is so frequent in this book and talked about so casually that it almost felt unrealistic. I really do not reccomend this book. It is just strange, and the only thing holding it together is Steinbeck's beautiful ability to write. I still don't understand why there is so much appeal to this book: the only reason I can come up with is that this topic is not normally written about. I think it will definitely be worth a try at another one of his books, however.

Summary: The ending is great!!
Review: Of mice and men is great. The book hooked me from begining to start. I expecially like how the ending wasn't dull, it was exciting and i didn't see it coming. I recomend this book to people who enjoy a book with not only a great ending, but very intence parts throughout the story.

Summary: Excellent
Review: If you did not read it in college take the time to read it now.

Summary: It does not justify it to read the book only once!
Review: The first time I read this book I was in the sixth grade. Since I've read it five times and it grows in depth each time. Lennie and George are two of the most detailed and loved characters. It is one of the most controversial books of our time, for one reason it makes you think.

Summary: Exhilerating, a beautiful play on words
Review: Steinbeck captuered the pure esence of the characters. His use of foreshadowing is cleverly done. He could not of written a better ending, he challenged us all.

Summary: Wonderfully Touching Book
Review: John Steinbeck paints a beautiful picture of a dream of two men - George and Lennie - and tells about the events leading to the tragic death of the vision. It's a wonderfully touching book and the last few pages can cause readers to cry.
Rating:
Summary: Steinbeck at his Best.
Review: This book moves me. I've read it probably 3 or 4 times growing up, and it still finds a way to grab hold of me. Steinbeck's characters are the most true, honest people in fiction, in my humble opinion. Anyway, read the book. It's good.

Summary: Gripping.
Review: This book made me realzie how lucky I am to be normal. The best book I've ever read made me laugh at Lennie's stupidity and cry at it too.
