Summary: A classic
Review: This book is just great! I love how George Orwell "hides" messages in his books - and this message was very obvious but yet interesting.Believe it or not, but I got more interested in politics after reading this book though I was still quite young. The Animal Farm handles many important subjects of how our society is maintained and ruled and I think just about anyone interested in politics and/or communism should read this book.

Summary: Makes you think...hmmm...
Review: I enjoyed this book (a very quick read)- however I do wish I had more background with which I could determine what animal was supposed to represent which country/leader. Obviously Napolean is Stalin, Snowball is Trotsky & Major is Marx- after that I was at a loss...I guessed that Boxer represented blind patriotism (the people)-but who was Truman/America?- There aren't many characters left to choose from (certainly none that we would want to represent Truman (Molly the vain horse, the cat who dissapears at the first sign of trouble) I thought Benjamin was Churchill, but maybe not...Anyone have any insight here? Other than this confusion I like Orwell's writing style & subject matter-in this book & in 1984; he succeeded in making me question the world we live in (In my opinion this is his sole intention).

Summary: Animal Farm
Review: The book Animal Farm was an interseting book.The main point of the story was that the animals took over the farm and then the pigs started to seem more like dictators. I gave the book 3 stars because the main point of the story was elaborated but the details were incomplete. When I first picked up the book I thought it would be boring but I found that I really enjoyed it. I would recommend this book to other people.

Summary: What's with the Pigs?
Review: They had to work hard for their human master, yet were fed badly, treated with indifference, and when were to be slain the moment they become useless as a work unit. This short story about animals¡¯ trying to prevail over their miserable lives is a reminder to the harsh capitalist society. The people in the bottom, the labor class, are not so well off as their masters. Enjoying their moments in their opera houses, the burgoeis will never understand how hard the life for a proletarian is. According to the introduction, George Orwell, or Eric Blair had started writing this little "fairy tale¡± while still in the World War, and published it at the end of it, in 1945. At the time the Soviet were praised for their brave confrontations against the Germans, and their communist society seemed to be the most ideal one, indeed. It is surprising that Orwell prophesized the fall of such society in which the government claimed itself to be following Marx's principles, claiming to be communists working for the people. Napoleon took over the farm, chasing away Snowball, as Stalin had banned Trotsky, and then started purge to kill him in Spain. And that was beginning of another hardship. There were many literary movements concerning how manipulated the original principles of Marxism had become, especially during and after the Cold War. But not many had managed to give such insight as George Orwell did in his "Animal Farm¡±during his time, on how nations like the Soviet Union or North Korea cannot stand so long. Corruption of Animalism, just as Marxism or Communism, brought once again a farm in which animals are not so happy. What is the difference between Napoleon, and Mr. Jones? Such had been the dilemma that divided many peoples. It is a depressing book, animals not having their share for their hard victory. As we must always, one should wonder about this in relation to our reality. How well will we bring control to the power we gain? How well civilized is our government? Like many questions in life, the longing for a ideal society has not been fulfilled. But we will work harder, in order to achieve it.

Summary: Animalism = Communism
Review: Nobody really notices that Animal Farm represents the russian revolution.

Summary: A Parable of Communism's Tragedy
Review: As with all parables, if you ignore the symbolism of this tale, you will miss the entire point. Animal Farm is the story of the Russian Revolution, which started with lofty rhetoric about freedom and equality (as most political revolutions do), but ended with a tyrannical oligarchy wielding the same barbaric control over the masses which the tsars had wielded before the revolution replaced them. In each animal there can be seen a part of society, and the sadness of this story is that the animals who truly attempted to apply the socialist ideals were also too stupid to understand what was going on around them. The exception to this was Snowball, but even he was naive by not realizing the tyranny that was brewing in the self-serving mind of Napoleon. One of the most maddening things in this book was the mindless bleating of the sheep, who by thoughtless repetition of the Party Doctrine could drown out all reason, all intelligent debate, and ultimately, all of the truth about the farm which could have set the animals free. This book is a simple masterpiece, and it's lessons for all societies are timeless.

Summary: Good book
Review: This book is very good, in depths readying. I thought it was very cleverly done with the whole Soviet Union reflected in to a farm like setting. Before someone reads this, they should know a little about the Soviet Union, communism, Stalin, Lenin, and things like this. It is good for all ages, but younger audience would benefit the most from it. Older people should read '1984' by the same author.
