Of Mice and Men

by John Steinbeck

Review of Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

       While this novel starts slow, as many of Steinbeck's works do, the ending is simply brilliant. It's a true statement about good and evil in the world, and Steinbeck's portrayal of the controversial character Lennie had me in tears by the end. I read this novel when I was in middle school, and have always admired it. A must read for all.

       Steinbeck's use of symbolism and alleghory makes this short read a peice of classic literature. Brought me to tears.

       ...the story of life and true decency...a real heart-wrencher, my tears spilled.  The story was so deep, showing the real nature of life and men and the lives of men, even through its simplicity, an eye-opener.

        For those that want more out of a book, a must read.

       I remember reading this in high school and I still remember it pretty well. This is a sad story that really takes you on a journey in such a short amount of time.  For such a short novel it deals with so much.  The character of Lenny is one of the best written characters.  How Lenny meets his end is sad and you really wish it didn't happen that way.  Now that I think of the story I just hope things don't get as bad through the country as it was in the depression. This and appointment in sammarra are the best books I've read about the Depression. The two characters have such a simple dream that it's sad they don't realize it.  Overall this book is outstanding and i honestly wished it was a little longer. My favorite part is when the overseer of the land they were on said he wore a glove on his hand to keep it warm for his woman. That was funny and that's why I wear one glove on my right hand. I would give this book an 8.5 out of 10
