Summary: This is what I call a book!
Review: The book 'Of Mice & Men' is what people should read to understand the situation that the habitants of this small world is suffering: loneliness, violence, love that take people to the death. An authentic book, which many could predict to be bad, but that could be the best of it. Full of surprises, sadness that you will never experience with bunch of papers, the cruelty of love, and the unpredictable final. And questions, millions of questions coming out each seconds from your head, that would not stop even after you've finished the book: Why? What for? Was it the right decision? Didn't he have enough ways to advance? A book that could reach the top. And this, is what I call a book.

Summary: Of mice and men
Review: This story is about two guys who are itinerant workers,that look for work in ranches.They always travel togethter and always get in troubleand get fired. George who is the main charachter always helps Lennie and tries to solve his problems.'Cause you got me to look after you and you to look after me'. I think that the book deals mostly about Loneliness. All is related to loneliness even the place where they work 'Soledad'. It is suitable for all ages who understand the vocabulary.I liked this book because it is very intereting and emotive

Summary: A very disapointing Book!
Review: May I use this opportunity to express my strong dissatisfaction at Steinbeck's book "Of Mice and Men". As a story it could have been much more elaborated but, to my dissapointment it was not. Reading the first chapter I was mysled to believe that I was going to find a good and interesting book due to the excellent descriptions. Instead, i found that he used the same style of description during the entire book making it repetitive and boring. Secondly, the only scenes of the book that were, in my opinion, worthwhile ended up being violent "He slashed at Lennie with his left", "Blood run down Lennies face". Finally, the entire ending of the book was my mayor disappointment as, it ends in a way that leaves a great deal of issues unconcluded, such as George's future. I think that the ending is very poor and leaves much to be desired. In conclusion, I believe the story did not live up to standard and I would not recommend it as it gives us a fake idea of what the book will be but, tears it apart as you go deeper into the story.

Summary: Of Mice and Men Review
Review: In our opinion Of Mice and Men is a book that represents the life of itinerant workers. As we read the book, we started realising how hard life can be when youre living and working on a ranch. We also realised how important it is to have dreams and someone to share them with. 'Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world ' this frase, is what we think what the whole book is based on. There are several characters in the book that feel recognised by this frase. Such as Candy and Crooks. Candy was an old man that had only one hand. Ever since his dog was killed he started feelling empty and lonely. After coming to an agreement with George and Leannie, he became part of their dream. Violence was a key point of this story. There were many scenes of violence and agression. for example: the last one when George finds Leannie in the bushes and then kills him because Carson and Curly were eventually going to kill Leannie since he had previously killed Curleys wife. In our opinion this book was very well written. You couldn't put it down for one second. We hope that we will read another book by John Steinbeck.

Summary: of mice and men
Review: The story is about two gays that are looking for any job. All that time while they are looking for a place also to stay, they pass trough lots of bad and good things. They always help and got each other,"I got you, you got me"said George, one of the principal characters, and this shows de people who read this book, that when you have a friend that is passing a bad moment, you have to support him , and that is a good example for children. Also, the main theme of the story is loneliness, this also help people to trie to get lots of friends, for not being alon ein the future. Story statement by Jhon Steinbeck, is a very interesting book for all ages, who wants two know about two gays that pass unforgetable moments and that one of the two lives will end in the ranch, where they finally lived and work.

Summary: Student review (C.R.W.)
Review: For the last months we have been reading Of mice and men. It was a considerably good learning experience but it also had a downside. I think that this book had a great deal of things useful for teaching different literature aspects; quotations, descriptons, themes, etc. However, this does not mean that i liked the book. Many may have found it boring to read since it is a slow book, maybe because of its long descrptions that were irelevant sometimes. I dont want to say its a bad book, because its not, and there are many people who liked it in my class. Anyway, i believe it was a good choice for us to read Of mice and men, since a lot can be learnt as far as skills go.

Summary: Steinbeck's master piece of work
Review: This story is about the difficult kind of life that two itinerants workers have to deal with. George Milton and Lennie Small are the main characters in the story. They are both new in the ranch, the place where they work. There, the men that work with them cannot understand their relationship since one of them said "I have never seen two guys traveling together.I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy". They also have to face lots of troubles, includins the murder of the bosse's daugther in law. Because of this, george has to kill Lennie, if not , he would be violently murdered by the girl's husband. We think that the book deals , mostly, with loneliness. "Guys like us are the loneliest guys in the world" This quotation expresses the message that the author is trying to give us. Because of all these, we believe that the book was great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's the best book of all times :)
Review: This is a book that it really make me feel about several emotions To begin with I firstly thought about dreams I have. Usually, my dreams are connected to my future. So this book make me the next day you are going to be death or alive, so I learnt with this book, that you have to live your life as much as you can. It also make me feel about how alone we are in this word, although we have people who love us. We live in a society that don't take in to account the importance of having friends, and a family. We are only thinking about what we really care not in the others. Moreover, there's a lot of violence, like that there is now a day.

Because of all this reasons, I can say this book will remain as a classical book because it's main themes are related to what we live.
