Of Mice and Men

Rating:
Summary: A Touching Tale On Man's Tragic Fate.
Review: A story of two men contrasting in physical & mental conditions but united in a deep & trusting bond whose dreams are shattered by life's sinister twist;is handled very well by Steinbeck's gifted touch for the realistic.His lyrical catch-scapes prove daunting & impenetrable though,hindering the flow of the dialogues bet. the characters,where the strength of the novel lies.His style of prose fits more for a screenplay,& it's no wonder that the film of this work was done so well.The end is a dissapointment when one has seen the film;nevertheless,the work is a moving portrayal of human relationships in the inevitability of man's destiny & his helplesness in trying to avert it.

Summary: An experience.
Review: This book was just the bomb. I just can not see how anyone could ever write such a telling, sad, touching, realistic story in just 110 pages. If nothing else, John Steinbeck was a great man of words; he had a true understanding of human nature. To disect this book would be a crime. Just read it and enjoy it for what it's worth.

Summary: what would have happened after?
Review: Great book! My question- what would have happened after George killed Lenny? My class is doing a mock Trial of a time when they come to get George for murdering Lenny. As his defense attorney, I will show how Lenny's murder was not pre meditated as George was mostly convinced by Slim.

Summary: A GREAT BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ
Review: The book begins with Lennie and George: Lennie being an oversized mamoth of a man--Goliath--in a way, and George being your man of an average size. The roll between the two is that they both have the same dream and that is to live off the fat of the land and raise rabbits. Lennie, is best put as retarded, but is really the nicest guy in the world: it is just his size that interfears with the two men's lives. George has a short fussed temper and Lennie can't help but be dumb when it comes to any situation they may find themsleves in. The book has a great plot that you have to stop and think about long after you have put the book down, and this is without a doubt, the most realistic novel I have ever read. I would suggest reading this at a MATURE high school level. If you are too young for this book, you will not understand it. If you do understand it, you will see what a great novel it really is.

Summary: Very exciting and sad book.
Review: Of Mice and Men is a great book. It is about 2 men named Lennie and George. Lennie is somewhat retarded and very big. He touches a girl's dress in the city of Weed and has to run away with George. They go to a farm where they find Candy, Slim, Curley, Curley's Wife, Crooks and Carlson. Candy is an old lonely man who's only real friend is his dog. Carlson hates his dog so much that he shoots it. Lennie wants something soft to pet, so Slim gives him a dog. Lennie gets mad with the dog one day, hits it, and accidently kills it. This forshadows the killing of Curley's Wife. Curley's Wife was talking to Lennie in the barn one day, and let Lennie pet her hair. Lennie starts hurting her, and then breaks her neck by accident and kills her. He doesn't know his own strength. Lennie runs to the brush, where the saddest part in the novel happens. George, out of love, shoots Lennie. He tells Lennie the dream for a better life before he shoots him. This was one of the best books I have ever read.
