Summary: Touching Book Beautifully Read by Sinise
Review: I'm a big fan of Steinbeck, but had never read this book before listening to it on audio tape in my car. I came close to tears a couple of times. Steinbeck made a career of lovingly and vividly describing both animals and people in pathetic circumstances.The story is really moving. Sinise's array of voices is both deep and broad. If you didn't know better, you'd think there were three or four different readers, each with a clear and deep understanding of the character he was reading. This audio book is really an excellent value.

Summary: Awesome book to get hooked on
Review: I had to read this book in my 8th grade class and as always I thought it would be another boring book, but I was wrong. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It's mainly about friendship between 2 men and all the good and bad times they both go through together. The ending is sad but it is totally worth reading it. And after you do, you HAVE to see the movie! It's 10 times more better and is somewhat more interesting.

Summary: Brilliant, thoughtful book
Review: Stienbeck's Of Mice and Men, was a great, disturbing read. You immeditaly love innocent Lennie and kind, hardworking George. But this book has a dark, sad message. People like Lennie and George truly never win, no matter how hard they try. And, for those who asked, the reason George killed Lennie was that Lennie couldn't function in society. George had tried to take care of him, but they always ended up on the run. If they got away this time, soon they would be on the run again. So George did the kindest thing possible. Rather than let Curley and the men kill Lennie while he was frightened and upset, George was with Lennie in his favoriter place, talking about their wonderful dream, their own private Eden. He made Lennie feel happy and safe. And then George, rather than letting Lennie suffer, took up his suffering and killed him quickly and painlessly. George cared for Lennie so much that he would rather suffer than have Lennie suffer. It is obvious that George loves Lennie, despite "giving him hell", and wants to protect him. When he can't, he makes sure no one will hurt Lennie. Sad, beautiful book is too great for a mere review to describe. Also, see the movie with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich, and you'll cry even harder - they perfectly capture their characters!

Summary: What I Thought Of "Of Mice And Men"
Review: "Of Mice And Men" is a terrific book! Especially at the end when Lennie gets shot. I just love the foreshadowing, for example, when Lennie kills the mouse, then the puppy, it leads you to beleive that he could maybe kill another thing, and then Curley's wife walks in. I also love the awkward pair,Lennie, the slow, large man, and George, the smarter, smaller guy. Altogether, I enjoyed reading this book and I will probably read it again! I give it four stars because I just couldn't put it down!

Summary: the book talks about loneliness
Review: This book talks about loneliness and how people dreamed about having their own land, because it was hard to have a land in that time because of the Great Deppression the United States passed through.
