Summary: Short and bitter
Review: This classic "fairy story" was a short and quick read but its impact is nothing of the sort.
It is well accepted that Animal Farm is a ridicule of the events and people following the Russian revolution but the dark themes have been echoed throughout history and into to the new millenium.

Summary: Not Too Shabby
Review: Animal Farm is a book that was written very well. Orwell's talent amazes me in this classic about (on the surface) animals taking over the farm they live on. When reading this book though, it becomes very clear that it is actually based upon the real events of the Russian Revolution, each animal representing a special person in history or a certain genre of people. I would recommend this book to anyone who hasn't already read it. It's a shame that Orwell had to die so young; I bet that he had a lot more classics to come.

Summary: a brief epic
Review: For those without much time to spare might I suggest Animal Farm, a vicious little satire on the pros and cons of government and society. As always Orwell has a lascerating wit and a smooth narrative pacing that makes everything important and nothing dull. Despite the short length there is a great deal of information imparted in glowing, shivering language, simple and yet dignified; chatty and yet sometimes overwhelmingly lofty. And yet the pace of the story will have you racing through it like a 600 page crime novel where everything just keeps getting uglier. Read it in a day, over a weekend, during quiet time on a several day beach vacation.The metaphors aside, this book relates a profound understanding of the very human motives that make community government always aimed toward personal corruption.

Summary: Political Review
Review: I really enjoyed the book 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. One reason I liked it is because of how Orwell uses animals to show the Russian revolution. Another reason is because he predicts the fall of the Soviet Union and how it failed. A third reason is because I like Orwell as a writer. The best part of the book is when Napolean the pig kicks snowball out of the farm and when they take over the Farm. The characters were the best story element in this book. They were well developed and were amazingly like their real life counter parts. Overall Animal farm may be the best thing Orwell ever wrote.

Summary: Animal Farm
Review: This book gives you an excitment. Together you and the animals can experiance a story filled with suspense, thrill and interest.
Some important animals stand out from the other animals.
Others just sit around in the story. Although the last two pages are boring, I still reccomend it. The ending will give you feelings of some of the bad things that are happening in our lives. The utopian society the animals try to create turns into monstorous problems. A nine fits this book for the suspense with interest and excitement. This book is meant for 6th graders and up because it has a true meaning of life now and in the future.

Summary: wow
Review: this book was incredible. the subliminal references to communism and why it would never work are amazing. orwell uses the animals to represent major figures in the russian revolution such as marx, lenin, trotsky, and stalin. orwell shows his distaste for communism beautifully. the eventual breakdown of the animals society directly reflects the decay of the Soviet Union. this book shows that communism has no real basis in reality. by the way......buy this book

Summary: keeping the faith
Review: i think that the animals had great courage to stand up and defend themselves against the mean farmers of England. i am glad that since the 9-11 attack, America has shown just as much courage and resilience
