Summary: Surprisingly Good=)!!
Review: This book was one that i wish i would of read when i was suppose to in 9th grade. It was once we reached the middle of the book i realized how good it was. I am one of those students who hate reading those long novels about nothing important. Even though my teacher said it was one of the shortest novels we would ever read! After only reading the middle to the end. I just had to check this book out for myself! Once you begin this book, you may think it starts off boring..but keep going becuase youll never want to put it down. It teackes you about loyalty and friendship in real life situations. This is a book i would read over and over again!.Try this book out..you'll really like it!

Summary: beautiful use of language
Review: My second read of the book -just as good as the first.
Steinbeck is the master! His economy of language is
superb.
The reader is drawn in right from the very start
and the characters are just superb not to mention
Lennie who is so likeable.
Throughout the book I got the sense that I really
knew the characaters - each one pursuing their own
"American Dream".
It is a lesson in life and in humankind.

Summary: A Classic American Masterpiece
Review: John Steinbeck is magnificent in this true American classic. From start to finish, he keeps you interested, and the pages keep turning. Of Mice and Men defines the true meaning of male friendship and the power of the strong over the weak. This is a book you won't want to put down!

Summary: Stunning and Powerful! One of My New Favorites!
Review: I'm starting to read some of the classics now, being in college. Mainly because there are really no new authors out there that have caught my interest lately. I also want to expand my horizons, and read things I might've never given the time and day when I was in junior high and high school. "Of Mice and Men" appealed to me pretty quickly, from reading the back of the book and seeing how long it was. I wanted to give it a shot. Boy, am I ever glad that I did. This is an AMAZING book.Written by John Steinbeck, "Of Mice and Men" tells the tale of two men who travel together all the time, hoping to own an acre of land and a nice home they can call their own. George is a smart man who always seems to have things figured out. Lennie is a giant with a mind of a young child. George looks after him, but it is not easy. Lennie always seems to get himself in some kind of trouble, and George is always the one who has to help him out. And when they find jobs on a ranch, George finds out just exactly how fast the best laid out plans can vanish into thin air. The ending is unforgettable and shocking. The writing was very well done. Characters were very interesting and brought their own characteristics to life, leaving it very easy for you to tell them apart. I also liked the dialogue. Though the plot may not be the most complex one, books don't have to be complex. In fact, sometimes it's much more difficult to write the simplest book or story. Nothing fell short in this masterpiece. I recommend this book to anyone who loves to read. Sure, there's a chance that you may not like it. This is very true. But look at it like this: the book is only about 107 pages long. (Pending on which version you have.) How many books do you know that are that short? Which means that if you don't end up liking it, chances are that you didn't waste too much of your time on it. I was pretty sad to finish the book so quickly, but then again, it will be an easy one to re-read over and over again. "Of Mice and Men" is one of my new favorite novels. It's just a shame that Steinbeck is no longer here. All the good ones always seem to come and go very quickly. This is a book that I will read over and over again. I loved every word, every paragraph, and every page. Enjoy "Of Mice and Men." And if you don't, well at least it's a short read.

Summary: Chart topper!
Review: This is honestly one of the best books I have ever read in my life. There are some sad moments and some kind of sick moments but that is what makes this book so great. There are all kinds of characters that are portraid perfect. The story is proably the best out of everything in the book. Two friends go to find work after they are ran out of another town for harming a woman. Yet there troubles are not yet over.

Summary: A Great Novel!
Review: Steinbeck is at his best in this novel about two men heading out to get jobs and experience love and hate for each other. I liked the dialogue in this novel and the climax was awesome and thrilling! It was unfortunate that the beloved Lennie died but it may have been for the best and Lennie's death proves to be a big controversial issue among readers today and this is a good thing because plots and climaxes that are predictable aren't good yet I never thought that Lennie would die. While it was sad to see him go, it made for a thrilling ending and one that got us to think about ourselves. Read this book!!

Summary: Timeless...
Review: The books appears to be merely entertaining until you reach the end. Memorable characters. Excellent ending. Colorful setting. This is some of the best American literture. Also of interest: you know the big dog in Looney Tunes cartoons that always asks the smaller dog to tell him about "the bunnies". That character is taken from this book.

Summary: Short and sweet
Review: This little gem of a book should be the de facto standard for a novel. Conscise yet detailed, moving and profound. Nobody makes me sappy eyed like Steinbeck. Definately 3.5 kleenex out of 5. For more kleenex mileage, try Grapes of Wrath.

Summary: Of Mice And Men, need I say more?
Review: Of Mice And Men? Oh no, no, no. Of Genius and Sheer Brilliance is so much more fitting. You can read it in about an hour, but be ready to read it three or four times in a row. It is splendidly entertaining. You root for these guys, a little down on thier luck, to win. All you want is for this big goof Lenny to get his warm so he can be warm and loving as he is deep down inside and raise him some rabbits. I'm reminded of the Abominable Snowman character from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. I'm gonna hug him and pet him and squeeze him and love him... But anyway, this is short, simple and very easy to read. However, the easiest thing to do is enjoy this novel. Yes, you are a little upset and disappointed when Lenny is killed, but it's still one of the best novels ever written.
