Book Reviews of Of Mice and Men

Who doesn't love this book? If you actually got through high school without reading it, you should read it.

A classic from high school - very easy read

A thriller, a gripping tale ...a classic.

Another John Steinbeck masterpiece!

I read this as a required novel in my English class, but still really enjoyed it.

Heartwrenching classic.

This classic novel tells the tragic tale of Lennie Small and George Milton. They are out of luck and out of work migrant workers roaming the highways of California during the 1920s. The depression is the backdrop for the story but that does not prevent Lennie and George from dreaming big. Steinbeck paints a masterful and brilliant portrait of a bygone era that still resonates today. Every time I read this book it reads differently. This is required reading for most high schools. Fifteen years after I originally read I still love it. However, the difference between reading it at 14 and 28 is amazing. Lennie and George are some of the best characters of 20th Century Literature. I highly reccommend picking this one up.

I remember reading this book in middle school. A wonderful read!

An excellent read by one of my favorite authors.

I loved this book, another great read!

Great book!

I personally did not like this book, it was too short and had a very dull plot.

I actually like the movie version better. The one with John Malkovich. I really didn't "get" the book.

Required reading for my DS in midle school.

2 friends facing the world .

Have not read.

Great reading!
