Summary: Is There A Plot Here?!
Review: I had to read this book for my English class at school and I started out with an optimistic attitude reflecting this book. The beginning of the book was rather slow but, of course, I had to read it and was willing to give it a chance on account of it being such an essential classic. As I read further, though, I feel that the book could have develloped further than it did. What had been a trace of a plot at the beginning of the book had all but shrunken into a totally unnecessary conclusion that, I feel, had no thought or reflection on the main goal of the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is about a 2 traveling guys...
Review: This book is very nice and it should be a full 5 stars with out a question, its a very interesting story about this retard (literally) who falls in love and gets in trouble while his friend has to always get him out of it...and it ends tragically....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Touching and very well written story
Review: I think this is an excellent story which is very thought provoking. It's a tale of two unlikely partners who are in pursuit of their American dream. The dream ends tragically for many of the characters, who are all very different yet very similar in predicament. I'ts not long, but I'd definitely recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Friendship Never Ends
Review: What a touching story about everlasting friendship between two friends named George and Lenny! 'Of Mice and Men' is a true masterpiece!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What is up with this?
Review: This book was not my idea of relaxing reading material. it had hardly an intriguing plot. i only read it because i had to for school.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I think this book was well written.
Review: Steinbeck tells a spectacular story about two men. One is George Milton, the other is Lennie Small. I will not tell you everything that happens, but it is worth reading. I like the foreshadowing he used with Old Candy's dog (you will have to read the book to understand).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Audiobook is a treasure.
Review: This exquisitely crafted, gorgeously written, wonderful and shattering story is read by Gary Sinise, a fine actor whose gravelly voice suits the material and whose love of Steinbeck is manifested in every line.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Two men trying to make on the ranches of America.
Review: I thought John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" was a very good book. My ninth grade english class read this book together and I loved it. Steinbeck takes everything into account, even how they spoke and the language they used in the day the book is based in. And how they act towards one another and to those of different races is accurate, too. The story of two friends, one smart and the other not too bright, is very well done. This is an excellent book and I recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: !!!!! Still thinking about the book a whole day later !!!!!
Review: I read this book yesterday and I am still reeling from the effect that the ending had on me.

I have a friend who hates books that make her feel anything. She says she reads for entertainment and not to educate herself. If you are one of those people (those simple, scared people) then don't read this book. It'll break you. I don't think that I breathed once during the last chapter.

But if you're a person that wants to broaden your horizons and learn something about the world from a book, I suggest you read this book right away.

I will never be the same. And I'm glad of that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very touching story written by a talented writer.
Review: This book was the only book I've ever read that made me cry. They way Steinback describes his settings in the California landscape is spectacular. I felt like I was auctually in the dirty bunkhouse, watcing the men play cards. It is an amazing novel and I strongly suggest you read it.
