Rating:  Summary: Not the Best Review: I picked up this book for English class and after reading it I can respect how many people really enjoyed this book and I can see why. It is written well and it does keep your interest. John Steinbeck's style is very unique and it is semi-enjoyable to read (although every other sentence contains a swear word.)The story is about two men, George and Lennie, who always look out for each other. Lennie is, well, "different" in that he loves to touch soft things. He has the mind of a two year old. George does his best efforts to look after Lennie, although Lennie does get into a lot of trouble. After being chased away from their previous town, George and Lennie get new jobs in hopes to someday own a ranch of their own. Though this book was written well and the plot was good, I didn't like the story line. It was very depressing and was annoying for me to read. Maybe I'm just one person in a million who didn't enjoy this book. Try it out and see what you think.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!! Review: I thought that the book Of Mice and Men was a action book because it never got boring.Things just keep on happening. I didn't wan't to put it down. I liked this book and I would recomand it to the mature reader only.
Rating:  Summary: It was a very moving book Review: We had to read this book in English class and I really liked it.It was touching and it made me cry. I really liked Lennie
Rating:  Summary: Majestic in it's simplicity Review: From all the books in American Literature that I have read, this was the one that touched me most. I couldn't stop crying for what happened to Lennie. He was so innocent, and never meant any harm. From the moment the story began, till the time he was shot, he was only thinking about his rabbits...
Rating:  Summary: What I thought about of Mice and Men Review: I enjoyed Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. The book was great cause it was a nice plot. I did'nt want to put it down after I picked it up.
Rating:  Summary: Good but depressing. Review: In a world where everyone is on prozac, high school's decide to include such tragic books as Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men in our curriculum. People don't really have a right to complain about the youth of America's obbsession with death when they are the one's causing it.
Rating:  Summary: A captivating book which was to hard to put down, Review: I started off saying,'ah here we go again,another boring book to read,in boring English'.But in the end i looked forward to english class.And the only pity was i had it read in two days, because i just coulldnt put the book down. Its a brilliant book thats worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: a great entertaining book that will be a classic. Review: BRILLIANT BOOK NEVER PUT IT DOWN
Rating:  Summary: It was nice and revealing in different ways. Review: It showed all of the characters reactions and feeling. The literature (curses) we had to skip while reading in class. Besides that it is a good book.
Rating:  Summary: A classic touching tale. Review: John Steinbeck is one of the greastest writers ever and he proved it when writing this book. I'am 17 years old and had to read this in English, I read it in two days I couldn't put it down it touched me like no other book has done before.
