Summary: Classic Tale from an American Tradition.
Review: As one of Steinbeck's most renowned stories, along with The Grapes of Wrath, this novella really does deliver what it promises in the way of true emotion and friendship during times of extreme adversity.When isolation was common, George, a short yet sharp man and his pal Lennie, a large man who is slow of mind, work on a ranch in Salinas, California, during the Great Depression. With a dream in mind, they work towards their goal of living in a somewhat ascetic nature, secluded with only each other to keep company. But as the title explains, even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Steinbeck is probably the mascot of modern American literature, and his other works, namely Travels with Charley, Grapes of Wrath, and In Dubious Battle, entertain to the letter. He is common reading in high schools, and due to his soft and affable writing style, he is accepted nearly unanimously.

Summary: a believable story
Review: This isn't an uplifting book. This is what would really happen. There is none of that perfection that always happens to characters in books. The story feels real.
It is a great story, and easy to read, but the ideas are not meant for people bellow high school age.
Steinbeck has a very descriptive style that is wonderful for some people. I found the descriptions long and dull, but they put vivid images in my mind.

Both are totally different people. Lennie always cause problems that let George get in trouble.Lennie doesn't know how to control his power that made him kill many mice,than the pup.The troubles are getting larger and larger. who will he kill next?
I give this book five stars because it is a very good book for me to learn English. I learned many vocabulary words but most important thing I learned i sabout friendship. Friends need to help eachother and they both did. Friendship are not easy to maintain in a good status.

Summary: My Opinon
Review: Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck, is a novel that takes place in Soledad,California, during the 1930's which is also during the 20th century. It allso won the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1962. The story is based on migrant workers during the Great Depression & allso shows us what true friendship is about, for ex.: Lennie & Geogre. Geogre was "short & quick, dark of face with restless eyes & sharp. He was small but with strong hands, slender arms, a thin & bony nose." Lennie is the opposite of Geogre because his "A huge man, shapeless of face, with large pale eyes, with wide sloping shoulders, & he walked heavily." He also has mental problems.
Although Lennie has special needs George doesn't leave his side because he has a good heart & he is loyal to Lennie. But, there's times that Geogre feels that he wants to punish, struggle or even kill him because of the things he does.
Also, the workers aren't so please with Lennie. What limit do you Geogre might have with Lennie?
I truly recommend this book to anyone but especially those who doesn't know the definition of friendship. In this Great novel I learned that a friend isn't only there for you when you're you want to have fun but, a friend is when he/she is there for you in you're up's & down's.
I rate this book with 5 stars.
