The main characters are a small, quickwitted man named George and his best buddy, a large oaf named Lennie.

George looks out for Lennie, and they plan to one day get a house of their own, and Lennie will get to tend the rabbits. However, Lennie has one big problem; he loves to pet things, but sometimes the things don't like to be pet. This is the source of all his troubles, and at the end George is left with a tough decision. The ending of this book is amazing, and I really enjoyed it.

Summary: A story you'll never forget
Review: This is a book you'll never forget reading. Its a classic from beginning to end. The characters are like many people we know. Some are kind and caring, some simple and some are mean and manipulating. This tale helps us remember that sometimes all we have, is each other. And, that "Friendship" is more than a word.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck
Review:   The story took place in Soledad, California during the Great Depression. There were two migrant workers mentioned in this book, George and Lennie. They were best friends. Their relationship symbolizes strong vs. weak. One of them always causes the other trouble. You will think the weak one always causes strong trouble right? But the truth is, the strong guy(Lennie) always causes the weak(George) trouble. Why was that? First Lennie cause tiny problems, then bigger and finally the biggest trouble. Now what and how should the weak one(George) help or save his best friend?
  I give the rate of 4 stars to this book. It's a great book for love, friendship and at a loss as what to do. The theme of this book is sometimes friends have to force themselves do something that he/she doesn't want to. I recommend this book to those young children and adults who have been lost as to what to do.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: The Absolute Best Book I Have Ever Read!
Review: John Steinbeck truly outdone himself this time by writing one of best pieces of literature ever recorded by the English tradition. This is a story about two guys named Lenny and George who live in the 18th century and just try to make enough money to survive. They encounter many problems but they also make friends along their journey. George has a problem dealing with Lenny because of Lenny's mental illness and because he gets George in trouble too much. Steinbeck really makes you feel like you're in the book with the characters and adds a sense of setting that we can all picture in our minds.
I was never able to put down this book because I always wanted to know what would happen next. The suspense is unimaginable and the story seems so real that it's almost like Steinbeck was actually there following George and Lennie around. Read this book and you will discover the hardship of life in the 18th century for Lower Class men with no families, no home, and no long term job. They have to move on to job to job and get paid about 15 cents a day. They also encounter a lot of danger throughout the story and makes the reader wonder what will happen next. Everybody should read this book because the conclusion is guranteed to suprise you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better every time
Review: OF Mice and Men was a very good book, i could read it over and over. I have read the book a few time and it gets better every time. John Steinbeck was very creative to think of the character Lennie, and the troubles he was in. I also watch the movie and it did give the book some justice. It was almost the same way I pictured it while reading. In this book you do see the side of someone who is not very smart at all. I enjoyed this book very much and Will more in likely Pick it up again.
