Editorial Review: Product Description: Tragic tale of a retarded man and the friend who loves and tries to protect him. With illustrations from the movie starring John Malkovich and Gary Sinise. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - One of the most perfectly conceived & executed novels America has produced, everYeah, they make you read this stuff in high school in a country where most kids find it challenging to read the back of a box of Cap'n Crunch. And because it's forced reading, the novel itself becomes as ossified as one of those dismembered appendages found in Eastern European reliquaries. But if you break the glass and give it a sincere read, you'll discover it's one of the greatest novels ever to come out of America, whether it's the economy of style, the simple power of the language, or its heart ...

Rating: - Steinbeck MasterpieceMy 17 year old needed a book for an English report. I wanted to introduce him to one of my all-time favorite authors, but at the same time not overwhelm him the volumn of "East of Eden" or "Grapes of Wrath", etc. This is a kid who is going to be an engineer and doesn't "believe reading is all that important".

The way he talks and acts reflects that he is a little boy stuck in a strong mans body. Lennie is by far my favorite character in this book. Lennie has an obsession with touching soft things. At the beginning ... Read More Rating: - Worst Book I have Ever ReadI did not like this book at all. I had to read it in eighth grade. It was so difficult to understand the interactions between the characters. Although the story itself was okay, it was nothing special at all and it isn't something I would look forward to reading. The WORST part is the end, it's VERY SAD. It's the WORST ending I have ever read in a book. I was hoping the book would end happy, but, just like the rest of the book, the ending sucks as well. I don't get how these books become famous. Maybe an adult would ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
