Of Mice and Men

Summary: I expected worse
Review: This book was way better than I expected. I especially loved reading about the childish things that Lennie did. Whenever you read about his actions, you'll probably let out a little laugh. This is a good read beginning to end.

Summary: The Best School Book I've Ever Read!
Review: "Of Mice and Men" is a great book. I never would have touched it, but it was required reading for school. Not only is it short and brief (only 100 something pages), but it is very insightful and thought-provoking. It is hard to place it in a genre, since it very sad, but also sometimes funny. So i guess I'll just say it's a good book. It does not have the kind of storyline I would actually pick to read, but after reading it I learned how much I really enjoyed it. It's really good to occupy time on a long plane/car ride since of its size, and also pretty fast-paced, so you can stay interested. Read this book!

Summary: Broken Thoughts on Mice and Men
Review: I read this book because I somehow missed it in high school. At first I was unsure of the language, but it turned out to be a brilliant use of the vernacular. The things I keep thinking about are these: The attitude that the men have toward animals is very similar to theirs toward women. These are objects of function that can be replaced. The irony is that they recognize themselves as dispensable animals of labor to the land owners, and still regard animals and women and black people so poorly. This is an ingenius illustration of the mechanisms of oppression.

Summary: Movie was better than the Book
Review: I thought that this book was sort of boring, it had many interesting events in the story, but it's not the same as seing the movie. The movie had a great cast and was portrayed very well :)

Summary: An okay read
Review: This is usually read by many high school students and that's how I came across it. Of Mice and Men shows the peculiar relationship between 2 men one being mentally "slow", they travel on farms together. This is a good read and it is entertaining. I only gave it 3 stars because I didn't finish the book with a strong feeling about it.

Summary: This book is so cool!
Review: I thought that this book was a great book. I thought thatbecause it expressed the feelings of every character in a certain waythat was so real and it made me feel so into the book. THe part where i really got into the book was when Carlson went out and shot Candy's dog and i started talking to the book because i think that that was really rude. I started to cry when i was watching the movie when Carlson shot Candy's dog because candy was with that dog for a long time and i thought that it was really mean that Carlson thought that it would be ok that he shot the dog. Even if the dog is deaf Candy took care of it and didn't let anything happended to it. He really loved that dog. I also liked how they made Lenny sound so hopeless and how he reacted to the puppy and how he was just like my 6 year old sister. She always comes up to me and says if i do this can you give me something and it is kind of the same as Lenny wanting to tend the rabbits if he did something good... Lenny did live a hard and wild life including that he always had something going on in his life that got him in trouble. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes short and exciting books read this one. I guarantee you that you will not be disapionted, and if i were you i would run out and buy a copy of the book Of Mice and Men right now......... Thank You!

Review: "Of Mice and Men" is a great book for anyone interested in the wild wild west. Lennie and George, the main characters, tell their story about how they go to and from their jobs. The book was short and easy to read. You will be embraced in the books conflicts and never want to put it down. It brings laughs and tears to the reader as he/she progresses to the end. If you are in the mood for a short and fun all around story, choose "Of Mice and Men."

Summary: Good and Bad
Review: I thought this book was good except for the weird ending, Curley's wife dying and Lennie, that was strange.

Summary: Of mice and Men
Review: I thought it was good that steinbeck kept it short and interesting insead of streaching it out into 500 pages or something. I saw the movie before i read the book so it made it alot easier to understand and easier to picture everything. The whole Big Child (Lennie) and Little Man (George) relationship was very interesting. At first glance Lennie seemes to be a very simple man but as you get into it, it becomes quite the contrary. It was one of my favorite books, and i think im hooked on Steinbeck. A Sitka Student Eric K
