Summary: Steinbeck's Best
Review: This is a book that I was recently "forced" to read in school. Traditionally, I am not a fan of having to read anything (especially something that was written fifty years before I was born). But this ended up being the best book I've ever read (okay, so maybe it's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest). The best thing about this book is that it's not too long (so that those who arn't crazy about reading won't feel like giving up), and it's not hard to understand, like some of Steinbeck's other stuff. If you want to read a book by him, this is a great first choice. Read it before you pick up anything else by Steinbeck. And the ending...un-freaking-believable!

Summary: The Strength of Irony Makes this a Masterpiece
Review: As Romeo and Juliet demonstrated that suicide is the greatest expression of love, Of Mice and Men demonstrates that murder is the greatest expression of friendship. Many have tried to ban both these great works from libraries and schools for their powerful ironic message. Read this masterpiece for yourself.

Summary: A review of Mice and Men
Review: My name is Sara Frackelton and I am a junior at Saint Mary's in Raleigh, North Carolina. The novel, Of Mice and Men was assigned to us about 3 weeks ago. I never would have picked up this book if Mrs. Pearson had not required us to do so. I thought the book was touching and emotionally moving. When I finished reading it, I felt like I had lost a friend. Steinbeck created very likable and realistic characters. I also think I have grown after reading Of Mice and Men. I realized how love can hurt and relationships can be on more than one level. George would rather kill Lennie out of love than watch him suffer and live with no freedom. To me, that is true love and companionship with another human being.

Summary: A Negative Downfall
Review: As an assignment to my 11th grade American Literature class, one of the requirements has been to read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I found this novel to be strange and extremely obnoxious. One is introduced to two characters, George and Lennie, right off the bat. As a reader I found myself placing my body and mind into the characters positions. You easily fall in love with the relationship between the two of them. George has this dream and a life that he is able to incorperate Lennie into. Lennie is a sweat, compassionate man with a mental disability. This novel sets you up for Lennie's repeated downfall. Therefore, I find myself to be disgusted with the book.

Summary: micey men
Review: Of Mice and Men could possibly be the most extrordinary piece of literature that I have ever read. John Steinbeck chooses perfectly fitting words when he is describing actions and settings. He paints a a very detailed picture that successfully informs the reader of all the events pertaining to the story. Steinbeck's writing pulls emotions out of his characters. By doing this, he provokes strong feelings from the reader. **note** Some events in this book may be considered emotionally disturbing and I would strongly recommend anyone with any kind of emotional controversy not to read this book!

Summary: Very good book
Review: I believe that this book is one of the best books I've read so far. I find John Steinbeck's style of writing to be interesting and enjoyable to read. I love the way he makes every chapter seem like a scene in a play. He uses wonderful detail about everything he mentions. The story in itself is excellent, also. Within only a few pages, a deep and intriguing story between two companions develops and shows the reader the power of friendship. As an added plus, it's short enough to read in a couple of hours, which is wonderful if you're a busy person. It is truly and excellent book and I recommend it to everyone.
