Summary: Animal Farm
Review: Animal Farm was an intresting book about how animals take over the humans and run them off of their farm. Even though the book refers to animals, it is very ture about our human nature and how we like to take over and control things. The book was written after World War Two it is very ture in today's world.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Animal Farm---The Story Within
Review: The story of The Animal Farm itself is somewhat out there,but if you read between the lines and aply it to everyday life and look into history for aplications then you can get a special meaning from the book. The characters in this book seemed to come alive, the animals portraied all the different kinds of people you will incounter in life. The leaders,the quiters,the hard workers,and even the fakers. George Orewell used his talents as a great wrighter to speak out against communnism. Comming at the end of WWII, this book gave citizens a new look on communnism and the dictators who run communnist governments.All in all, i enjoyed reading and understanding this book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Animal Farm
Review: Animal Farm is an interesting book. You really can't predict the outcome of this story which made me be really attentive.
One of the main charcters, Major, made an important speech about how animals were mistreated and fed just enough to keep them alive. He wanted animals to be free. Once he passes away his ideas begin to happen, only not exactly the way he planned.
The animals work hard and a certain leader bends all the original "rules."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gives a Good Understanding of How Life was With Dictators!
Review: Napolean is a dictator who was a lot like some of our terroists of to day, and how they get followers. I think it shows how inhumane dictators are. I also think it shows in more ways then one that dictators take and don't give anything back to their followers.The followers are always loyal and don't realize the dictator would eat better then them or if they were starving they wouldn't eat but, there leader would. That is why this book gives such a good understanding of it all!

Summary: Animal Farm
Review: The Animal Farm was a very interesting book written by George Orwell. If you didn't pay attention closely you could miss something important. The book was held at the end of World War 2 at a farm. The farm contained many walking and talking animals using personification. This book was very entertaining and amusing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Animal Farm By: Meagan Frye
Review: Animal Farm, a very intriguing novel by George Orwell, is one that I highly suggest to anyone who wants to read such a meaningful book. In an essence, it represents our world in the early 1940's, when World War II was in full swing. In this book, animals represent different human charcters and different characteristics people exhibit through their actions of war and tyranny. Napoleon, the pig that overthrew Snowball, symbolizes a dictator and represents a sort of dictatorship, like Adolf Hitler. Napoleon has a way, like Hitler, to brainwash his people to think he is the best. This book really got my wheels turning. This is an outstanding book for anyone who chooses to read it, so why are you waiting? Go read it today!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Animal Farm
Review: The animal Farm was an incredible book. I liked it alot except for the animals drinking and smoking. It had great personification. I liked the way they all worked together and did their jobs. I think that they worked hard to get what they got and they deserved it. It will be read by everyone and enjoyed one day.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Animal Farm
Review: This book really widened my eyes to the developement of domesticated animals. I began to visualize all of this happening. I thought about the animals revolting against the the humans and them just giving up. My favorite character was Squealer. He was a loud mouthed liar who used wonderful words and got away with it. Overall, I didn't really understand it and I got confused during it a lot.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Animal Farm: A ruthless dictatorship.
Review: An overall good book with a few points to be made. The pig, Napoleon, has trademarks of Adolf Hitler, the Japanese dictator, Tojo, and several others. His cunning is greater than anyone else on the farm, that's why Boxer was sent to the horse glue maker. But like all great leaders, what would he be without his own secret police and someone to tell false lies to the public to ensure his stability and greatness. He gets the pig, Squealer, to tell the lies and he has his dogs he raised and feed his evil lies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read the Orwell Preface at the end!!!
Review: Dear Reader:

I have recently re-read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, because it will be one of my son's assigned readings in the months and years to come. ...book makes more sense now at 44, than at 14.

I read the 50th anniversary edition, from our local library. At the end of the (physical) book, are two "prefaces" -- one is the original, the other is the Ukranian.

All I can say is that you should read or reread the original ORWELLIAN version of the PREFACE (and the book). The whole thing should only take a few hours, it's only a hundred pages or so.

If you take the first 3 or 4 pages of the Orwell Preface, and every where it says USSR or Russian (etc.) and replace that with either REPUBLICAN or BUSH GOVERNMENT, it makes sense. It's as if he wrote it today.

An intelligent person like yourself can easily read this short preface, and do the word substitution in your mind.

Please do so.

Best Regards
-Dave
