Rating:  Summary: Professional Book Review of the book: Of Mice and Men Review: I liked the book alot, for being a required book to read in a junior english class, it wasn't a bad selection. My favorite character is probably, George, cause I mean he stuck with Lennie almost to the very end and he put up with all this problems. The plot of the book is interseting because the time period their really wasn't much to life when your a traveling ranch hand. I like the slick ways of Slim, he's also an interseting character. But, most of all out of the whole book I want a old dog that can't see and can't even walk because their so useful...joke. Good decision to kill that dog it probably was in pain. But the book dispite it's few slow parts I believed it to be an awesome book.
Rating:  Summary: A perfect book Review: There are only a couple of perfect books in the world; books that need little or no explaining; books where everything comes together; books that leave you satisfied and feeling better about the world. You can count them on one hand: To Kill a Mockingbird is one. East of Eden, another. The Bark of the Dogwood is one, and yes, finally, Of Mice and Men.Basically the story of two friends, this seemingly simple story is actually one of deep emotions and psychological complexity. The two friends couldn't be more opposite from one another, both physically and mentally, and this only makes for more tension in the story. But the resolution is beautiful. The only other books I liked better than this were Steinbeck's East of Eden and McCrae's Bark of the Dogwood.
Rating:  Summary: Of Mice and Men: A great book indeed Review: Throughout the centuries, we've been given books that have been branded as "classics". From The Oddessy to Moby Dick. Yet do all of us think of Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck? I know that when I say that this is your classic "Odd Couple", you'll automatically think of humor and comedy. This book however, is the opposite. It's very dramatic and can be a slight tear jerker at times. But by reading this book, you may think it is all too familiar with a flirtatious woman, a terrible boss, a guide, and the newcomers. Yet, it still uses the characters to an advantage. By making the terrible boss meet his match, and though she did get on my nerves the flirtatious woman really made, and added a lot to the story. ~Norma

Rating:  Summary: Of Mice And Men Review: John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is a very great book about two men who is looking fore work. Lennie is big and strong as a bull, but not so smart. He is like a child. But George is thin and smal, and he is the brain. The movie of mice and men is like the book, if you have read the book then you must see the movie. George have to watch Lennie all the time, because he foregets allways what George says. But he don`t foreget that they dream to buy a litle house and a farm with animals. That Lennie is going to take care of the rabbits. But Lennie gets in trouble all the time, and thats not good. In there new jobs Lennie killed a woman and he runs away, and George have to shoot him in the head. And thats the end of the story. The end of the story was not so good, thats because Lennie gets killed. He was a great worker, but he was getting in trouble all the time. Thats is the reason George shoot him i`ll think.
Rating:  Summary: Of Mice and Men opoinion Review: "Of Mice and Men" is a tremendous book. It is a very understanding novel that really grabs you. Goerge is the main character. He is a strong-willed honest man. He has been lifelong friends with a "slow minded" man named Lennie. They both just lost thier jobs because of Lennie's bad behavior. They have recieved new jobs and George is vigorously trying to keep Lennie under control in order to keep thier new jobs.You can really feel George's emotions when trying helplessly to keep Lennie in order. The Plot of the book is fantastic because it has many unexpected twists and turns. I would recommend this book to everyone.
Rating:  Summary: tear jerker, AWESOME BOOK Review: let me start out by saying this book was AWESOME!it keeps you on your toes and wondering. Lennie just touched my heart with every thing he said and did. I could feel his emotions. I cried so when he got upset, and I laughed when he was happy. Steinbeck really did a good job with this masterpiece. this is a book that you can read again and again and learn something new everytime. I would recommend this book to anybody who is looking for something to make the tears fall.
Rating:  Summary: True Friendship Review: This book has brought to light troubles I've had in past relationships with old friends. No, im not saying my friends are behemoth retards, but I now realize that true friendship never lasts. George and Lenny are the prime example of best friends, and their relationship is based on total reliance of one another. "Of Mice and Men" is an amazing story and anyone who hasnt already read it, must. Matthew Sinderbrand
Rating:  Summary: Classic story of Man's Inhumanity to Man Review: Set in the Depression Era rural South, 2 men, George (smart but not strong) and Lenny (strong but not smart) are searching the countryside for their dream: a little farm that will support them and bring them happiness. They find work as farm hands but encounter prejudice (Lenny is considered a "dummy") and cruelty by a sadistic boss. When Lenny accidentally kills the boss's beautiful wife, George tells the upset Lenny that everything will be ok, to quickly go to their "secret place". The ending is heartbreaking. After reading "Of Mice And Men" one wonders about WHY people see the need to look down on less fortunate ones, even tormenting them for "not fitting in". In reality it is the bullies who are the misfits. Starved for attention and the need for superiority destroys their human features and makes them more like animals. This book tells us to expell hate from our hearts. I recommend this book to students age 14 and up. This book can be turned into a wonderful stage play, requiring minimal sets. There is also a vintage movie version which I can recommend. As always, the book is the best of all "media". Highly recommended.*****
Rating:  Summary: the american dream Review: the story of two young men George and Lennie,who travel together and share the same dream of being their own bosses and own a ranch which is the american dream. The story takes place at the Salinas river banks and at a ranch in California. It's prety good except for its lenght and sort of tragedy you should read it do to its moral lessons. one of the major themes is loneliness overall a good book
