I would have to disagree with some of the previous reviewers remarks on this book. I too am a GCSE student and have read it at school. I found the story very interesting , at the beggining steinbeck uses some beautiful descriptive words to describe a valley with a river flowing through it. We are eventually given some background info on the main characters which is welcomed but perhaps maybe would of have been better right at the begining of the book. I found the GCSE questions in between the chapters very helpful for revising your knowledge on the text , but if you were just reading the book for fun then i could see how this would be annoying. The book is on the short side (but hey it's quality not quantity isnt it). So to sum it up then , it's a great book if you are doing it for exams but maybe not for the normal reader.
A literature classic! December 5, 2006

This is a classic piece of English 20th Century Literature, albeit written by an American. Steinbeck is a prolific writer as shown when awarded with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. Of Mice and Men is set in the period between the two world wars and is grippingly realistic. It tells the story of the most unusual and strange friendship between a small, intellectual man (George) and a huge oaf of a man with the mind of a small child. It tells their tale of working in ranches on California, desiring the "American Dream" - a small plot of land to call their own and to live on. This book, however, is not for everyone. Anyone with an interest in classic literature, 20th Century History or Steinbeck's work should read this now.

i think that this book is brilliant. the characters are not as you would expect them to be, i think the best were George and Lennie i don't know how George put up with lennie all those years. moving from ranch to ranch becausce Lennie does something wrong.
