Product Description

Of Mice and Men was John Steinbeck's first masterpiece. Originally published in 1937, it's the timeless story of George Milton and Lennie Small, ranch hands who drift from job to job, always one step ahead of the law and a few dollars from the poorhouse. George is small, wiry, sharp-tongued and quick-tempered; slow witted Lennie is his opposite—an immense man, brutishly strong but naturally docile, a giant with the mind of a child. Despite their difference, George and Lennie are bound together by a shared vision: their own small farm, where they'll raise cows, pigs, chickens, and rabbits, where they'll be their own bosses and live off the fat of the land.

When they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, the dream at last seems within reach. If they can just save up a little money. . . . But their hopes, like "the best-laid schemes of mice and men," begin to go awry. The story unfolds with the power and inevitability of a Greek tragedy, as Lennie commits an accidental murder, and George, in a riveting, deeply moving finale, must do what he can to make things turn our right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable, March 22, 2006
My 7th grade son with reading problems needed to read this book for english class. This was very helpful to him. He followed along in the book as it was read to him and was able to absorb and actually enjoy the story. I will be buying more books for him this way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gary Sinese's reading is AWESOME!, January 12, 2006
Besides being a great classic, (I wont review the book because most people have done that here), Gary Sinese's reading is flawless! He's on top of my list for Audiobook readers. He does all of the different character voices masterfully! You wont be disapointed.

Bottomline: if you haven't got the time to read the book, Gary will engage you.

5.0 out of 5 stars magic is created, May 13, 2007
By Ingrid (austria) - See all my reviews
It's undisputed that Steinbeck's novel is a gem of its own rights. Add to that Gary Sinise, a great actor who very obviously has a soft spot for this particular book (Gary Sinise has done Of Mice And Men on stage as well as for the movies) and it's magic that is created.

One man's voice turns from narrating to snarky to hatefilled to sad with a burden too heavy to carry in the span of moments. It's a brilliant interpretation Gary Sinise is delivering. I couldn't stop listening and was carried to a place where sycamore leaves were rustling under my feet. Amazing!
