Summary: Animal Farm: Truly a great classic!!
Review: I have been reading all the classics we were suppose to read when we were in high school. This one is the best I have read so far. And no I did not start in alphabeticaly order. A very true tale of what happens when those who aren't used to power get power. We all know people that are good guys, get power, have a total brain melt down and start acting like they are way better then the rest of us. This book would be great for any age. The talking animals will keep any kid riveted long enough for the point to get through, it works well on adults too. Finally a classic that I can read more then one chapter at a time without falling asleep and waking up an hour later in a complete daze. This is diffently a one sitting read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My absolute favorite book
Review: I loved this book. actually I should start off by saying that i am 14 and i read this book about 2 years ago when i was 12. i consider myself a pretty intelligent person, and at 12, yes, i was able to pick up on the politics of the story. actually it touched me very much, and it made me very sad. i don't know why i havent read the book more than once, but i most definetly will in the near future. If you don't understand the political aspects of this book then i doubt you'll enjoy it..afterall you are missing the entire point of the book. if you think you will understand the idea of it, then i certainly, highly recommend you read this book..and then read Orwell's other masterpiece, 1984

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Invigorating
Review: I read this book during AP European History to help me fully understand the Russian Revolution. Having a good handle on the key players ( Trotsky and Stalin) I was able to visualize the revolution as if it were happening on the animal farm. THis book is written wonderfully. Knowing that you can read it one of two ways (the figurative way or by converting novel into the russian revolution) you will be pleased to the fullest after reading this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book, a little disturbing at times though
Review: I thought this book was very good. It is pretty much about stalin and overtaking trotskee and what happened after.

Old major gives a speech to the animals to overtake the farm. Three monthes later he dies. The pigs snowball(trotskee) and napoeleon (stalin) run the overtaking, soon after they harvest nothing happens. Then trouble stirs, napoeleon has his bodyguards(4 dogs) remove snowball from the farm.

Napoeleon goes bad and kills many animals on the farm for working with snowball in killing napoeleon. It is suspending and surprising. It is a fearfull future of what might happen. young adults might not understand the political viewpoint but the action will make them want to read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another 1984
Review: "Animal Farm" is a political story that can be read to both adults and children. It tends to be a summary of 1984. The animals of the farm can talk. They eventually want rid of the humans who enslave them. The pigs, who are smarter, take control. Eventually, then, the pigs become themselves overbearing. Their government is the communism of Stalin: they limit freedom, they lie, cheat, break rules. And hypocritically they set up business plans with humans in secret.

"Animal Farm" is the 1984 for children. The seriousness of the story is coupled by talking animals. Talking animals, in any setting, is enough to keep the attention-span of a child.

A well done book.

Summary: It's righteous
Review: Animal Farm is a OK book. I like snowball most because he was good to his animals. He is powerless to help any animal on the farm. Snowball had a good mind but he had no heart.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Animal Fezziey (farm)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Safety
Review: The book I was choose it fine because it good for me to read a animal farm book to see the animal treat each other and talk. I like the way the animal are breaking a house to make a fire, then the human will not harm the animal. The animal are running fast as they can to see how far they could get to see where they are going some where. I think the animal are good and standing next to a tree, they find a place to sleep in a cave. The animals did not have trouble and now they are safe.
