“Both men glanced up, for the rectangle of sunshine in...”
Written on: 02/08/2010 by Janet Lewison (43 reviews written)
Both men glanced up, for the rectangle of sunshine in the doorway
was cut off. A girl was standing there looking in. She had full,
rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails
were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages.
She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the insteps of which
were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers. "I'm lookin' for
Curley," she said. Her voice had a nasal, brittle quality.
George looked away from her and…

The pair are held together in a dysfunctional pact and talk repeatedly one day of having… Read Full Review

“John Steinbeck, Gary Sinise, Of Mice and Men:...”
Written on: 02/03/2005 by Charnelmind The Smart (50 reviews written)
John Steinbeck, Gary Sinise, Of Mice and Men: Unabridged - This is one of Steinbeck's most famous novels and arguably his most accessible. It tells the story of George, an intelligent migrant farmworker and his friend Lennie who is mentally underdeveloped.
