Summary: Tehe sadest book I've read.
Review: This book is the reallity of life. People always take advantage of those who can't be self-suficient. however, people should help other people even if they don't always like it, just like george did.

Summary: Absolutly Incredible!!!!!!
Review: An incredible book filled with metaphors that eventhough is meant to take place during the depression, still applies to life right now. I highly recommend this book because of the quality John Steinbeck put into it.

Summary: A wonderful novel
Review: I had to read this book over the summer for English class, I thought it was great! Usually when I don't like the theme of the book I really can't get into it, but this one I really enjoyed. I am disapointed in the people who think the ending was "strange", if you do think that, read it over again try and figure out what motivated George to do what he did. Theeeeeen maybe you'll understand the ending better

Summary: A Very Thought Provoking Book!
Review: This was the first book that I actually read from cover to cover in one sitting, and was the first book that really "gripped" me! A superb character study. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Great book
Review: If you enjoyed this book and would like to see the movie, I recommend the 1939 version. It is very well done. Much better than the recent versions. Of Mice and Men is a classic in my eyes.

Summary: A great book that anyone can relate to..
Review: This story interested me.. It is small and concise.. while it easily gets its point across.. I think that Lenny represents the ignorance and naivity that exists in the world, while George represents the harsh but realistic voice of reason... people may take it as a simply depressing story.. but i suppose that you just have to be in a position where you can understand what the characters are going through.. Lenny knows not what he does.. his world is all he has ever known.. he has nothing but love for animals and his sadness is sincere when he kills them.. he cannot help his ignorance, but it remains there, glaring him in the face.. just as it glares each and everyone of us in the face every day.. George is your boss, or your teacher, or your parent, or authoritative figure who keeps you in line.. he is the one who claps his hands when you doze off to sleep in class.. he is the one who gives you that reality check when you begin to wander.. but at the same time, he is the most caring friend one could have.. this story is not a sad one.. it is rather one that shows the happiness of two friends who's life wouldnt be the same without each other.. the end.. which i wont reveal at this point.. is the most meaningful part of all.. some may call it sad.. or depressing.. but it isnt.. it is out of love alone that causes George to do what he does.. I would recommend this story to anyone with a little time on their hands.. it only took me an hour to read.. dont take the story so literally.. try to relate it to your life as i have done..

Summary: It really makes you think........
Review: I had to read this book for english class, like many other people, and found it a very thought provoking and interesting book. Steinbeck gives us a very literell meaning of "friends till the end" All in all, an incredible book. There is so much meaning in it. I recommend it to anyone who likes thinking about friendship and the way the world works.

Summary: Don't read this book unless you're forced to!
Review: Jeez, was this book strange! By looking at all these great reviews, I felt I had to add my opinion. Steinbeck's a talented writer, that's obvious from the first page. But it had no plot or anything. I guess you either love it or hate it.

Summary: I don't know why so many people liked this book --
Review: By reading this book I now recognise what a brilliant writer John Steinbeck is. He has the great ability to include so much detail that you can see what is happening perfectly, but he keeps enough action going in the process. This style of writing gave him these 2 stars. The topic of this book, however, is very unappealing to me. I felt sorry for poor, retarted Lennie instantaneously. His emmense physical strength seemed very unrealistic, though. This is POSITIVELY NOT a book for a dedicated animal lover: for every animal that Lennie touches dies in this book. It is very graphically done. I don't want to give away the ending or anything, but it was VERY strange. I can't find even one word to describe how strange it was, and how it made me feel. I can only conclude that death is so frequent in this book and talked about so casually that it almost felt unrealistic. I really do not reccomend this book. It is just strange, and the only thing holding it together is Steinbeck's beautiful ability to write. I still don't understand why there is so much appeal to this book: the only reason I can come up with is that this topic is not normally written about. I think it will definitely be worth a try at another one of his books, however.

Summary: The ending is great!!
Review: Of mice and men is great. The book hooked me from begining to start. I expecially like how the ending wasn't dull, it was exciting and i didn't see it coming. I recomend this book to people who enjoy a book with not only a great ending, but very intence parts throughout the story.
