Of Mice and Men

Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: Of Mice and Men was a wonderfully written book and I really enjoyed reading it. One reason I really liked the book is that it taught me a lot about how to be a good friend. George and Lennie were very good companions. When Lennie got discouraged, George helped him by telling him to dream about the farm and tending the rabbits. They were always there for each other. When Lennie got in a fight, George told him to fight back. George and Lennie were very good friends.
Another reason why I liked the book is that here were colorful characters. There was a wide variety of different characters. Lennie was big and nice, but Curly was small and mean. All the characters had qualities that set them apart from the others. The characters in this book were fantastic.
I also like this book because I like John Steinbeck's writing. All his words are nice and simple. His sentences are short but also very descriptive. For example when he described Lennie, he wrote that his hand was like a big claw. He is a great writer!
This book is one of my favorite books. I would most definitely recommend it to other people. I read eagerly wondering what was going to happen to Lennie. Of Mice and Men is the best book I have read in a while. If I could only read one book this would be the book!

Summary: All-time favorite
Review: This is not only my all-time favorite Steinbeck, but probably my all-time favorite book. Second place probably goes to EAST OF EDEN or Jackson McCrae's BARK OF THE DOGWOOD. Still, OF MICE is so much fun, so easy to read, and such a pleasure. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a good read.
