Summary: Ms. Farvour's B 4/5 Language Arts Class
Review: Overall, I give this book 3 stars. The recreation of the 1930's in this story, gave me an idea of what it must have been like back than, with the men traveling around going from job to job and how the men would make some money and blow it off at the bars. Steinbeck showed the friction between the whites and blacks. Slavery was, and sometimes is now, a very big issue.
Steinbeck described each character in a unique way. He made every character with different personality, individuality, and unique characteristics.
This novel is a good book for young adults, I suppose, because this teaches us a new way of reading. We don't just read the book and discuss it, the book makes us read between the lines. The book aslo extends our vocabulary, which comes of good use.

Summary: Read this book (...)
Review: Steinback wrote a good novel that adressed some important social issues like sexism, racism, and discrimination. He shows racism through Curley's wife, who never does get a name. Racism is shown through Crooks and the abuse towards him. Discrimination is towards Lennie for his mental disability and George proves it by keeping it a secret from embarassment.
Steinback created a believable world that could have really happened back then. The setting was very discriptive and matched the time period. He shows how hard it is for a migrant worker in the 1930's. He talks so freely about prostitution and shows that it wasn't considered a really bad thing back then. The dialog was very close to how they spoke back then.
This novel should be taught during high school or late middle school because students may not understand the things that are happening in the novel when they are too imature. This novel could be thought of as disturbing because of the language used to portray the time period and because of the delicate issues it addresses.

Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: I liked the book, but it was kind of sad in a good way though because no matter what George knew that Lennie was going to die so he killed him in a less painfull way.
Steinbeck created really good characthers because they were so believable that it could of most likely been a non-fiction story. It's a good novel for young adults because it talks about stuff that could happen in real life and little kids might not understand the story or the words in the story. The social issue that it relates to is probably racism.

Summary: Ms. Farvour's B 2/3 class
Review: John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is a wonderful book about life in the 1930's. Steinbeck tells about two men trying to make money and live on their own land, as many men drempt of back then. This was shown through one metaphore of Lennie (one of the main characters) wanting to tend to the rabbits. The rabbits really represented them being free.
The characters in this book were really unique. George and Lennie are the main characters and they always stick together. Lennie is mentally sick, yet George sticks with him. The characters were a very beliavable pair because how they acted and their dreams of being free were very realistic.
This is a good book to read for young americans and i gave it four stars. Although it is only 107 pages long there is a lot of content and makes you want to keep reading it. Many people dislkike the language in the book, but other people dont realize that this book shows the language that everyone hears in our society every day.

Summary: Ms. Farvour Read HERE!!
Review: John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is a short, but entertaining novel. The book takes place in the 1930's with the 2 main characters John and Lennie traveling to a ranch to work, save up money and live their dream. Lennie is a big guy that is a little slow in the mind, and has an obsession with petting soft things. George is a small guy that has known Lennie for a long time and gives him commands for Lennie doesn't know what to do by himself. Much like a Father-son relationship.
I usually don't like fiction tales that take place in the past,but I enjoyed this one. The only problem is that the book starts out slow. It gives you clues that keeps you guessing and wondering.
For all you readers that consider yourself a slow reader, this is a great book for you. It's exciting and short. Only 107 pages. The price on the book is 8 bucks. I think it's worth it.

Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: Stienbeck's "Of Mice and Men" was a prime novel, filled with important issues and underlying motives. There were many forshadowing events that led up to the (to me) unexpected ending.
The two charactors, George and Lennie, are developed into astounding realisim. From the descisons and the thought patterns to thier problems and people skills the two men bloom into fenominal people.
I enjoyed this novel because it constantly had me reading inbetween the lines. It also captured my attention with its realisem.

Summary: Professional Book Review of the book: Of Mice and Men
Review: I liked the book alot, for being a required book to read in a junior english class, it wasn't a bad selection. My favorite character is probably, George, cause I mean he stuck with Lennie almost to the very end and he put up with all this problems.
The plot of the book is interseting because the time period their really wasn't much to life when your a traveling ranch hand. I like the slick ways of Slim, he's also an interseting character. But, most of all out of the whole book I want a old dog that can't see and can't even walk because their so useful...joke. Good decision to kill that dog it probably was in pain.
But the book dispite it's few slow parts I believed it to be an awesome book.

Summary: Of Mice and Men: A great book indeed
Review: Throughout the centuries, we've been given books that have been branded as "classics". From The Oddessy to Moby Dick. Yet do all of us think of Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck? I know that when I say that this is your classic "Odd Couple", you'll automatically think of humor and comedy. This book however, is the opposite. It's very dramatic and can be a slight tear jerker at times. But by reading this book, you may think it is all too familiar with a flirtatious woman, a terrible boss, a guide, and the newcomers. Yet, it still uses the characters to an advantage. By making the terrible boss meet his match, and though she did get on my nerves the flirtatious woman really made, and added a lot to the story.
