Of Mice and Men

Of Mice and Men

By John Steinbeck

Of Mice and Men: Summary Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work on a ranch during the Great Depression in the early 30’s? Then, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck would be a good book for you. This book takes place in the Salinas Valley in California. The protagonists (or two main characters), are Lennie and George. They are two guys who wander around work on a ranch, then another, and another. This is what was called jumpers. Their dream is to own a farm for themselves. Sometimes the world isn't so nice though. One conflict is that Lennie is a special man, that has trouble remembering stuff, this is a problem that they face throughout the whole book. Another conflict is that Lennie is very strong, and not good with small animals. The turning point is when they find a farm that pays good money. They think by working there for a month, they can save up enough to get their land. Although things get heated between Lennie and the antagonist; Curley. This book is very fast paced and has a few swears, but overall, the message is that even the best intentions don’t always end well. Of Mice and Men is my favorite book and hope it will be yours too.

The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings) (Vol 2)

The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings) (Vol 2)

By J. R. R. Tolkien

The author never said what the two towers were exactly, but most people think they refer to the strongholds of the antagonists in this book: Saruman and Sauron. The main characters visit the former during their journeys in this book, and the latter casts its shadow throughout the LotR: it is where Sauron searches for the ring--and Frodo--and sends his terrifying messengers, the Nazgul. If you haven't read the first book, it's not a good idea to read this one, unless you skipped it because it was too slow, in which case, this one would be a welcome surprise. It has the right amount of beautiful, well-placed descriptions that contribute to the epic fantasy tone; new and memorable characters (introducing Faramir, Boromir's brother; Theoden, the old and wise king, and many others); and more epic battles against Orcs, including Uruks, which are stronger and more lethal than the others. A brief synopsis: by the end of the first book, the fellowship has been sundered into three groups: Merry and Pippin; Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn; and Frodo and Sam (and later, Gollum). The first is taken by Uruks (but they eventually escape, meeting new people). The second go out to look for them, but meet someone they weren't expecting (and later, they meet their missing friends at an unexpected location). The latter, whose story is only written about in the second part of the book, have escaped from Orcs and are determined to destroy the Ring. One thing readers might not appreciate is the occasional lack of character development. Aragorn accepts his role as king without hesitation, and Faramir is instantly wise and rejects the ring. And Legolas is always calm, subtly humorous and wry. However, I think Gollum makes up for it. He makes a promise to guide Frodo to Mordor, swearing on the one ring, and, for a long while he does. But you never really know if he's serious or not, and by the end, this racks up to the breaking point. Theoden, likewise, has a small, tragic character arc, first realizing the full extent of the danger, then setting out to destroy it, perhaps when it is too late. Sam is also surprisingly funny, especially during the famous potatoes moment, where he lectures Gollum about the virtues of vegetables. I admired the journey of Sam, how he matured even though he was unsure of himself, accompanying and staying loyal to Frodo. Also, readers will love/hate this book for its extensive descriptions that are sometimes hard to visualize and understand--expect lots about the setting sun, perhaps seven or eight. Others will appreciate their depth and tone; some of which stood out to me and will be hard to scrub from my brain. For example, Tolkien, compares the army of orcs to a field of wheat swept by the tide of war, which gives you an idea of the sort of genius he employed. Another thing: this book doesn't really start and end definitively: it continues from the last scene of The Fellowship of the Ring and ends with a scene that I'd best not divulge, but is a cliffhanger to say the least. It lacks a definitive storyline, with the ring bearer's story having an entirely different setting and action than the rest of the former fellowship, which might make it seem haphazard and all over the place to some readers. After half of the book has elapsed, the next we'll hear of Aragorn and his posse is at the start of The Return of the King. Aside from that, this is an almost-perfect middle book to a trilogy, or, to be correct, middle volume in the LotR. It has fewer slow moments than The Fellowship (however there are still some), and replaces them with action and battles, and dark, brooding dangers. It was full of adventure. It got me to love epic fantasy. It was an exceptional book. Truly exceptional.

The War Below

The War Below

By Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch

This book captures the struggle and the horror of the Holocaust. This book is very interesting, and shows you what it was like to live during the Holocaust. This book made me feel emotional, and it made me want to know what would happen on the next page. The ending was happy however it made me angry to see how much the characters suffered and lost. I recommend this book to people wanting to learn more about what it was like during the Holocaust, and I recommend it to people who like books based on historical events. I also recommend it to people who have enjoyed other books written by this author. I rate this book 5/5.
