Although they fight a lot and struggle to get along sometimes, the friendship between George and Lennie is something to admire. The ending will make you cry. (  ) kelsyb2010 | Nov 4, 2009 |  Loved it!. I could read it at least once a month. George is a great character. (  ) Anagarika | Nov 3, 2009 | I love the books of John Steinbeck but I didn`t really got the message with this one. It didn`t flow like the others. and the end, hmm? ( ) brigitte64 | Oct 31, 2009 | This is a powerful read! I still have vivid memories of crying in the middle of my 9th grade classroom whilst reading the last few pages of this book. I love a good tragedy, and this one delivers. Very well executed. (  ) krysbrezinski | Oct 27, 2009 | Of Mice And Men is about the journey of two men, Lennie and George. Lennie is slightly retarded from an accident that happened when he was just a child but he is hard working and doesn't mean any harm. George is the caretaker of Lennie, which he likes even though at times he says differently. They are just trying to make a place in the world for themselves but something goes terribly wrong along the way. This was a good book, which I would probably read again. I can relate to George and Lenny, with their struggles and the relationship that they have with each other. The story felt very realistic almost like a memoir. However, at times I felt the book dragged on, especially in the beginning. ( ) KatieZodrow | Oct 26, 2009 | 
 To Americans whose eyes are still smarting from the unhappy ending of the Wall Street fairy tale of 1929, John Steinbeck's little dream story will not seem out of line with reality; they may even overlook the fact that it too is a fairy tale. An oxymoronic combination of the tough & tender, Of Mice and Men will appeal to sentimental cynics, cynical sentimentalists.  "Of Mice and Men" is a thriller, a gripping tale running to novelette length that you will not set down until it is finished.
