Summary: Plot + Characters = Great Story!
Review: Of Mice and Men is a brilliant work of love, hate, companionship, and morals; which reaffirms Steinbeck's place in literary history. The character Lennie holds a place in all our hearts as we traverse the odd little ranch-hand world of the early 1900s. This story takes you back into the lives of two of the most intriguing characters readers will ever come across. The plot twists and turns through interesting predicaments, one after another. Only to arrive at its gripping, and depressing, yet cheering, but melancholy, and still joyous ending; all wrapped up with a sense of foreboding that makes you wish for a sequel...but want to let it be at the same time. Everyone should read this book...it will open your eyes to reevaluate your future.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'The best laid schemes of mice and men; go often wrong'
Review: I'm not going to give you a summary of this story, as you'll find many on this page. I'll tell you this, though, buy this book in the store, they're overcharging for it here. And aside from that, this book *is* wonderful. I had to read the first chapter for school and read the rest on my own. The imagery is vivid and all of the characters, from the least important to the main two, Lennie and George, breathe a life of their own. Another good one by John Steinbeck is 'The Pearl.'

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Powerful Story
Review: I have just recently read the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck and it is one of my all time favorites. John Steinbeck depiction of the farmland of the early 1900's was incrediable. The book is about two guys George and Lennie. George is the brains and Lennie some how screws everything up. Lennie has a good heart and good intentions but he is definatly clumsy. Even though the book is only about 120 pages long, it is so good, it ranks up there with the long books i've read. Just an awesome book all the way around. If i could i'd give it more than 5 stars.

Summary: Relationship between two Migrant Workers
Review: This story talks about Migrant Workers. It is set in the Great Depression, Lennie and George are best friends. They always travel around together looking for a job. Lennie is a huge man, but he has his mind like a little child. George is small. He is the one that puts things in order and makes decisions. They are together because they don't want to fell lonely and they wish to have their own house. In this story the characters have funny names about their appearances. For example: Lennie Small is ironic because he is a huge man (big) and strong, and symbolic because his mind is like a kid (small). When Lennie and George are in Weed, Lennie has some problems so they run from Weed and go to another job. In their new job they live in a bunkhouse. Everybody was looking at their relationship. In the new job they meet a lot of people. That is when the struggle begins. George prevents Lennie from having a conflict with some workers. But in some moments Lennie doesn't have George and he cannot guard Lennie from the provocations of a flirtatious woman. The woman doesn't have a name in the story. Probably you can find out why she doesn't have a name?
This is good story. The most important knowledge that you learn from this story is the differences between loneliness and friendship. I thought that at the end something would happen, but I was surprised because other things happened. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is a true story about how people lived in the 1929 - 1930's. I give 5 stars to this book.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Um...
Review: This book is about George and Lennie traveling together to soledad for jobs and hopefully they can own a farm by themselves. So they work hard. Lennie is a huge man, had the mind of a young child. George is small and quick. They're best friends. George always tries to protect Lennie from getting hurt. He helps Lennie to solve his problems and everything else. In the end everything is just not what i expected. This book is kind of interesting because it tells the meaning of friends and loneliness through life. And how white people discriminated against the Blacks back in the days. I do recommend this book if someone is looking to know how it's like to feel discrimated, loneliness and friendship.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Forgottens And Lonely People
Review: John Steinbeck who is the author of this book "Of Mice And Man",wrote about the forgotten people like the lonely migrant workers.Lennie and George are two migrant worker with different personalities. Lennie is a huge man with an ironic mind, he all the time gets in trouble accidently,George is a small man,but has a quick mind. These two left Weed to Soledad where they attemped to realize their dreams which is to get their own land and have a good life, not to spend their money at a cat house. Since they are not lonely like the other migrant workers. Lennie and George have each others.
This book is wonderful and at the same time sad.I recommend this book because it exlains the value of friendship ,how the migrant workers are lonely,how they live and what their dreams are.In this book i love the innocent Lennie as well as George who did his best to protect his only and best friend.
