Summary: Mice, Men, and other things.
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book from end to end. I give it a 4 ¾ star rating because of... oops this is still the introduction! I hope you enjoy this review and read the book!

The book is mainly about two men named Lennie and George and their travels to reach their dream of building a great farm and "livin' off the fatta da lan." I like this book because just by reading it you know that John Steinbeck put his heart and soul into this book. If "Of Mice and Men" were a food I would describe it as rich and satisfying. The only thing I didn't like about the book is that especially in the beginning it would go away from the story and describe the landscape it in great detail. Don't get me wrong! I like detail but it took too long to get back to the story. Speaking of detail. When the detail in then book was focused on the story it gave it an amazing effect! The character development in this book was also very good. From main characters like George to main characters like Crooks, John always let the reader know lot about the character. Finally, the dialogue in the book is excellent. Everything is said right and right at the correct time. WOW! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an enriching story but can handle a little tragedy.

This concludes my review of the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. For all of you who decide to read it... ENJOY!

Summary: Of Mice And Men A Book I Enjoyed
Review: I read Of Mice And Men because of a school requirement, however towards the end of the book I felt that I had needed to read it for myself more than the school. The themes of Friendship, Lonliness and dreams feature strongly in this book. I felt that I could relate mostly to the theme of friendship, I like, Lennie and George rely on my friends to help and guide me along the way. In this sense I felt a connection with the plot. At the begginning of the book I was not very interested but towards the middle and end I could not put the book down and found that I had to finish it as soon as possible. So it was with bated breath that i began to read the ending at 12am in the morning and was most pleased when I finished, finishing it so early in the morning I dream't of the themes shown in the story and thought over the various issues. I feel now that I have a stronger knowledge of friendship and trust and the limits I would go to for any one of my friends. Therefore I give this book 4/5 because of the resulting effect.

Summary: The universal statement made in Of Mice and Men
Review: This novel makes a strong universal statement about loneliness. It portrays two men who have no family, no place to call home and no plan or goal in their lives. They work and work and then they have nothing to show for it. You get this idea in novel when George says to Lennie, " Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place. They come to a ranch an' work up a stake and then they go inta town and blow their stake, and the first thing you know they're poundin' their tail on some other ranch. They ain't got nothing to look ahead to." (Steinbeck 15) Also, many other characters demonstrate loneliness. For example, Curley's wife. She claims that she is always alone while her husband is out watching over the workers and that a girl her age cannot handle being locked up in the house all day. Another character is the slave that also works on the farm. He is forced to stay in his own room and is very segregated from the rest of workers. This is a result of the discrimination during the time in which the novel is set. Also, the other workers experience loneliness because they, of course, live the same life that Lennie and Georger live. The author John Steinbeck chose to set the novel a few miles south of Soledad, which is Spanish for solitude and means anger and loneliness. He describes in detail the life of many men who worked on ranches.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Reason to Like English Class!
Review: Like most of us, I had to read this book for school in eleventh grade. I have re-read it 6 times since then, and even saw the movie a couple of times. (Only movie that equals the book, by the way). This book is a classic. I fell in love with George and Lennie from the moment I met them. The characters in this book simply shine. Anyone who has a sensitive side will enjoy the book. A definite book to put on your to-do list!
