Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: If you did not read it in college take the time to read it now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It does not justify it to read the book only once!
Review: The first time I read this book I was in the sixth grade. Since I've read it five times and it grows in depth each time. Lennie and George are two of the most detailed and loved characters. It is one of the most controversial books of our time, for one reason it makes you think.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exhilerating, a beautiful play on words
Review: Steinbeck captuered the pure esence of the characters. His use of foreshadowing is cleverly done. He could not of written a better ending, he challenged us all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderfully Touching Book
Review: John Steinbeck paints a beautiful picture of a dream of two men - George and Lennie - and tells about the events leading to the tragic death of the vision. It's a wonderfully touching book and the last few pages can cause readers to cry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Steinbeck at his Best.
Review: This book moves me. I've read it probably 3 or 4 times growing up, and it still finds a way to grab hold of me. Steinbeck's characters are the most true, honest people in fiction, in my humble opinion. Anyway, read the book. It's good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gripping.
Review: This book made me realzie how lucky I am to be normal. The best book I've ever read made me laugh at Lennie's stupidity and cry at it too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Except for the sad ending, it delivers a powerful message.
Review: The story is about two laborers who dream about owning a piece of land. George who has great wisdom takes care of Lennie who has great strength. However, Lennie doesn't know how to control his strength, which always gets him into troubles. George always needs to help get Lennie out of troubles. At the end, Lennie's uncontrollable strength causes a tragedy that even George can't help.

I thought this book has a very sad ending. However, the description of people and places are vivid and it gives us a very good image of how the characters and places look like. Except for the sad ending, it delivers a powerful message.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A deep and entertaining book
Review: On the top layer of this book lies a very compelling story filled with vivid characters the masterfull writing style of Stienbeck. Digging deeper finds the book to be chillingly honest in it's questions and conclusions; characters representing practicality and dreams working together in a world that, in the end, requires the murder of one's dreams to exsist.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was a good book.
Review: Since Lennie was dumb it made it funny. John Steinbeck made the book funny.The language was profound.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Preatty Cool Book!
Review: I thought the book was preatty cool. I liked it because it's a good story about friendship and how these two guys who have been through everything together were forced to break their friendship because of a tragic accident. It was a very sad book, but overall I thought it was preatty cool!!!
