enjoyed it

I love stories that make you contemplate them for days or weeks after you have finished them and even superior are stories that stay with you for a lifetime. "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck classifies as one of those books in my life. The only problem with the book is that it is short, but maybe that is what makes it so appealing. It is a simple story with complex themes, which involve so many layers of characters and problems in society. George and Lennie are travelling companions… + read more

Excellent Story Telling

2 years ago

This is an enjoyable read. Steinbeck is such a great story teller and I have yet to be disappointed by one of his books. No matter what he is writing about, his words continuously hold the reader's attention and keeps them turning pages. You can turn to this book to look for deeper meanings or just for an enjoyable read.

A Literary Marvel

2 years ago

A great story told by a great writer. I think I was maybe 14 or 15 years old when I first read this small powerhouse of a book about two drifters who dream of a place to call thier own. It was also the first time a book made me cry. I think the most lasting impact this story had on me was that through the relationship of George and the simple-minded giant Lenny, I first discovered the complexities, contradictions, and sacrifices of human love. What better lesson can a book offer ? Definately… + read more

john steinbeck!

5 years ago

ok this is a very good book..its a classic. You have to pay very close attention to the way the story is written and how each and every character is portrayed and created in such a successful way by the author. There is much sybolism that one must understand because if you don't you'll just be lost. + read more

It's a Lennie World

6 years ago

The dialogue in this book was a little disengaging at first. You know how in soap operas the actors sometimes give life histories in the middle of everyday conversations? Such was the case here. In both scenarios it comes across as phoney. It's not that real people don't ever talk about their past, but usually it's not all revealed at once. A reader (or viewer) needs to know the characters' histories of course, but it could be done in way that doesn't distract from authenticity. That said, the… + read more

Of Mice and Men

9 years ago

Wow! What an awesome book! Of Mice and Men really portrays awesome aspects of how different people are living. From the beginning of the story to the end I was in awe of how caring and warm Lennie was, but still by the evil ways George treated him and manipulated him. The suspense keeps building and building so you keep reading and reading. It was awesome!

Of Mice and Men Review

This review is from: Modern Classics Of Mice And Men (Trade Paperback)

9 years ago

A touching story of two men's search for experience. Steinbeck creates a very lovable character in Lennie. A boy trapped in a gigantic frame, he wishes to love but cannot. His heart is full of compassion yet his hands bring pain. I recommend this book strongly if you like simple stories of freindship!
