Summary: A tremendous story by a tremendous writer.
Review: Steinbeck deserves a standing ovation for this book. It tells so much in so few pages. It's a tale about two laborers working at a ranch to merely have something to eat. It quickly becomes more complicated than that, as Lennie - the slow-minded giant - proposes an idea: a house, a farm, and, of course, the rabbits. At first, it's just a dream, but then it becomes a possibilty as they get together with an elderly man who happens to have some money. Of Mice and Men is a wonderful story that reveals life as it truly is, and that reminds us that the people we think are our friends might just become our end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: shattered dream
Review: "~Of Mice And Men is story of two young men (Georgr and Lennie) who travel from ranch to ranch. It was unsual the ranch life, that two men would stick together for so long. The ranch life was a everymanforhimself life, but Lennie and George went through it together. Besides the affection that they had for each other, what held them together was common dream. They dream to buying a little ranch to grow their own crops and animals."~ disorder, while George was a small but meticulous man, who looked after Lennie all the time. I meant almost all the time, until the day that he went to the town (to drink) and left Lennie along in the ranch, and Lennie did something that shattered their dreams (forever).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An incredible Book by Steinbeck.
Review: Of Mice and Men is one of the greatest books I've read in my life.It shows a clear theme of loneliness throughout the story.Lenne and George show a close relationship throughout most of the story.Although Curly's wife was always understood as Curly's wife(because she never had a name in the story.)It was still a great book.Lennie and george always had a dream but obviously in the end george knew it ould never come true.....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book
Review: I enjoyed reading this novel. It taught the true meaning of a friendship. It was the story of a dream that was unreachable, but George kept the dream alive for Lennie, until he was forced to...nevermind I won't tell the ending. Read it, the ending id great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A mirror for society
Review: John Steinbeck must have been a genius. For this book is too true to just simply read and then forget about. "Of Mice and Men" focuses on many individuals, the main characters being George and Lennie. This book has many meanings that stick out like a sore thumb. The main theme being loneliness. This book will leave you numb inside. This book teaches many lessons and is guarenteed to be a favorite for anyone. There are no words good enough to describe it. Read it yourself and you will see what I mean.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truely great book
Review: This was a great book. I enjoyed it from the front cover to the back. Steinbeck's desriptions made you pity the characters you were suppossed to, and hate the characters you were supposed to hate. It's not difficult to read, and the ending was a real shocker. Another thing I like are the hints that Steinbeck drops to foreshadow the futures. There are two events which mirror each other, except for the fact that they are between completely different characters. I won't say what it is, because it will give stuff away. So, all in all, it's a great book, and really deserves to be read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: shattered dream
Review: Of Mice And Men is story of two young men (Georgr and Lennie) who travel from ranch to ranch. It was unsual the ranch life, that two men would stick together for so long. The ranch life was a everymanforhimself life, but Lennie and George went through it together. Besides the affection that they had for each other, what held them together was common dream. They dream to buying a little ranch to grow their own crops and animals. Lennie was big (hard-worker), but he had sort of a mental disorder, while George was a small but meticulous man, who looked after Lennie all the time. I meant almost all the time, until the day that he went to the town (to drink) and left Lennie along in the ranch, and Lennie did something that shattered their dreams (forever). What I liked more in the story was simpathy of the characters (ranch workers), in the begining they seemed to be mean and anti-social , but then they started to get along with George and Lennie in a very social way

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: Of Mice and Men is a book about two men who have a dream to buy a small home. They think they are different from other men. The two men in this book are George and Lennie. George is small, tough, and handles everything that goes on between him and Lennie. Lennie is big, strong, and not very smart. Most of the time George has to tell Lennie what to do. After Lennie gets in trouble at Weed, he and George have to hide before they can go to there next job. I really liked this book a lot. I thought the whole book was interesting. I would have never expected the book to end like it did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: Of Men and Mice was a good book. The main characters are Lennie and George. I liked it a lot. I'm sure a lot of other people liked it too. This is one of my favorite books I have read so far. The book should be a little longer than six chapters, like it is right now! This book used to be my dad's favorite and now it is my favorite book. The book has been a favorite of our family's for a long time! My mom's side of the family started enjoying it when I told them to buy the book and to read it for themselves

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Of Mice and Men
Review: The book Of Mice and Men was a really good book.I think it was funny when Lennie always got in trouble. even if he was alittle slow. His friend always found a way out so that he wouldn't get into that big of trouble. It is good a really good book to read.
