Of Mice and Men

Rating:
Summary: ~Must read!~
Review: This book is a excellent book that has alot of symbolism. There are many themes in this book, but one important theme was "The American Dream" and Love=Death. This book will relate to anyone, or almost everyone. :* )

Rating:
Summary: a great depiction of human nature, love life and learning.
Review: the message that the author relays in this novel is an excellent one. I read it only to find my self identifying to most of the characters.My only problem with the book is the fact that George feels he has no choice but to kill Lennie. I guess that that was the whole point of the book. Humanity is frail and lonley. This point is well expressed in the book.

Rating:
Summary: A beautiful and compelling novel
Review: An unforgettable, highly moving story with much to say about love, yearning, and loss. So powerful and affecting, it is a crime that some schools keep the book from teenagers who would undoubtedly find the story hugely important and compelling. The book is a subtle, but very powerful indictment of predjudice and mistreatment of the weak. For that reason alone,the book should be celebrated and taught regularly in our schools. A great classic.

Summary: Steinbeck sucks you in a boy and spits you out a man.
Review: Of mice and Men is a grasping thriller that will bring you as close as family to a couple of hustlers working as barley buckers in the fields of Salinas, California to hopefully get enough money to get a ranch in which they can call their own. George, a down to earth guy with a rough outter impression and a sensitive inside traveling with Lennie, a huge man with the brain and heart of a child. You travel along with them as George tries to protect Lennie from reality and Lennie gets caught between his fantasy of tending rabbits and reality. As you will find though, George can not protect Lennie all the time and Lennie gets himself in trouble again, which will evenrually lead to a devestating ending in which George is forced to kill his dear partner who never meant bad to anyone.

Summary: A great interesting and easy to read book!!!!!!!
Review: This book is very easy to read and understand. It is about two friends, George Milton and Lennie Small. They travel around everywhere. George takes care of Lennie because he is mentally retarted and has to keep up with all the wrong things that Lennie does, and would lead to Lennie's death at the end. I would like to write more, but I have to write a book report on this book.
