Summary: An American Classic
Review: "Of Mice and Men" is about two men who try to survive in the middle of the Great Depression. George is a pretty normal guy, but his friend Lenny is retarded. They go around California looking for work, but everywhere they go Lenny does something that makes them leave. This is a great story of two men that have a great friendship that cannot be broken.

Steinbeck portrays the Depression vividly. He shows how people behaved and just treated other people. What people had to do to survive back then is crazy. Lenny is just an innocent bystander in this horrid time in our history. In that time there was no room for innocence. You fought to live or you died. I give this book five stars.

Rating: 4 stars

But now, Lennie just causes a serious problem that Veorge even can't help. Lennie is a huge guy, has a ind of a young child, and George is small and quick. Two of them are totally the opposite, not only the way they look, and the way they act, but they have a same dream. I like this book and I will recommend you to read it, because it is great and it will always give you surprise. Also, you will learn their friendship.

Summary: Companions
Review: George and Lennie were the best of friends. Lennie was a huge man. He was a hard worker. Lennie was not very smart. He got himself into alot of trouble because he could not understand many situations. Lennie's main concern was to pet nice things and that is what got him into the most trouble. With his size, Lennie did not even understand his own strength. George took care of Lennie. He did all the thinking that Lennie could not do himself. He had patience with Lennie, while other could not. No matter what he still stuck with Lennie and took care of him. Together, they had a dream and wanted so bad to reach it that they felt it was always within one step their grasp.
This book showed the greatness of friendship. I would recommend this book to my friends because it shows the meaning of friendship and patience. This book is about dreams and how important they are in pushing someone to reach them.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Of Mice and Men (Strout)
Review: John Stienbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men, grabs the reader's attention from the opening scene and does not let go of it until the last page. I usually do not enjoy reading, but this book was able to keep me interested and I actually read it in one sitting, this book is one that you really cannot put down once you pick it up. The simplistic storyline allows readers of all levels to enjoy the story and not get lost, yet is not too simple that the novelette becomes boring.

At the start of the novel, we are introduced to George and Lennie the novel's two main characters. They are fleeing from their former hometown because Lennie has gotten the duo into trouble again. It is not that Lennie is a troublesome character, as that he is unaware of his physical strength. This physical stature combined with his naïve nature, which is due to his mental disability, causes many problems for him and George. The two dream of owning their own ranch one day with many fields and rabbits for Lennie. To fulfill this dream they work on a ranch to earn and save money. While on the ranch Lennie is subjected to many awkward situations. George's loyalty to Lennie is often challenged by his friend's mishaps, he always remains true. Twisting the plot al the way to the end, Stienbeck creates a novelette that teaches us the meaning of a true friend. In enjoyed this book and you will too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: De Ratones a Hombres
Review: Two men travel together looking for work. They meet some workers named Curley, Slim, Candy, Carlson, and Crooks who live in a ranch.
Lenny and George have to solve many problems in their lives. Lenny has to go through many difficulties as he is mentally challenged.
In this novel we can see how the people from low social classes are treated inferiorly.
In this tragic novel only one gets out alive!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Review of "of mice and Men"
Review: "Of Mice and Men" writen by John Steinbeek is a book which narrates during the great depression era, the relationship of two men among the indifference of the world around them.
Those are George -described as a small and quick and dark of face- and Lennie -a very strong and tall guy who has the mind of a young child.
As they travel together, Lennie goes getting them into trables. That's why they had to move form Weed to Soledad. They only want to reach their dream, to get a own place where yo live, but Lennie's actions get him into a trable which has awful and irrepable consequences that affect not only himself and George but also other characters of the story.
This is a story of loneliness, frienship, loyalty and corage.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: dream of future
Review: George is smart and intellgent. Lennie is a man like a giant, but has a mind of child. Both of them have nothing in common, but they are best friends. Wherever George goes, Lennie follows. Lennie is always in trouble and George will have to clean up the mass. Together they have a dream for their future, but Lennie gets in trouble again that may stop them from succeeding their dream. I like this book very much, because I learn how important friendships are and that people can never predict what will happen in life. I will recommend this book to my friends, because I want them to know how important friendships are and how love can change people's lives.
