Summary: Long Live King Napoleon
Review: Political satire written so simply taht a child could understand. Animals revolt against the tyranny of a farm owner. They set up their own civilization that eventually comes full circle into a society just as oppressive as the one they revolted against. Orwell's symbolisms are simple but effective. Pigs as the ruling class Horses as the working Class Sheep as the peasants.

Summary: Easy-to-Read and Short, but with DEEP Meaning
Review: Great book...full of symbols and allegory that really tells the story of the Russian Communist Revolution in a different way. There are really two stories going on simultaneously in this book: that of the pigs taking over Animal Farm from the inside, and that of Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin - each of whom is represented by a particular pig in the story. Every part of society, from the working class, to the bourgeoisie, to the religious people, are represented in this novel. What makes this story even better is the fact that it's incredibly short and easy to read.

Summary: Great Book for everyone
Review: Animal Farm is a great book. Depending on how old you are you will look at this book differently. It can either be seen as a Fairy Tale or Fact. The truth is this book is a great portrail of the Russian Revolution. Its an easy read and can easily be finished in a sitting or two. I recommend that everyone should read this not only because its a great book but at the same time, its part of our history.

Summary: Interesting Story, Excellent Personification Techniques
Review: This book will be boring for those that hate reading about ridiclous deeds of fable-publicized farm animals. Well, this is political - you can compare it exactly to the Russian Revolution. The account is funny and accurate and will make you flip at some of the ridicolous things get done by dictators. Pretty interesting, but I don't say that it's a must read (it's now a required part of the 9th grade English curiculum in some states).

Summary: A nice little political allegory
Review: If you like history/politics and know about the Russian revolution, then you will enjoy this book. It is written in a beautifully satirical manner, somewhat as a children's book would be written. Deeply disturbing, but extremely funny in its exterior. This story actually made me feel ill, when seeing, in this light, the injustices in the Russian Revolution.

Summary: pepsi or cke? PEPSI!
Review: I am not a big fan of books but,when I read "Animal Farm" for school it was one of the best books i ever read(next to "hop on pop"). Animal Farm shows you, how the government was run in Russia with Stalin as a dictator. There are two movies on this book, but save the movies for last. I highly recamend this book to everyone, once you start reading, you will never stop. i know that when people read these reviews, that it is a lie. let me tell you one thing, if you read this book it will for sure be in your top ten favorite books.

Summary: A fascinating little political fable
Review: Some have said George Orwell's strength lies in his stories and ideas, not his writing. Granted, he's no genius with words and style, but I like his smooth and succinct way of writing. This in addition with the relative shortness of Animal Farm makes it a fairly quick read. You get a great satirical look at the beautiful idea that was transformed into a perversion of itself in Russia/the USSR in the beginning of the 20th century. It's even cute at first, so cute you might even consider reading it to your kids. Although the smallest might find the rest a little too scary, this might serve as a serious thoughtprovoker if combined with intelligent parents. Just don't do it without reading it yourself first. It helps if you know something about the Russian revolution and the situation there. Actually the similarities began bothering me at one time, but I think the book gives a great viewing point to the USSR and what it COULD have been about. But remember: don't leave your brains in the wrong pair of pants while reading the book.

Summary: A Must-Read
Review: This is a must read book. It has quite a bit of satire in it, and many, many, hidden meanings. It is a fairly short read, and well worth it. The story begins of The Manor Farm. The animals are fed up with working with the humans, so, they start a revolution. I won't give away the story so that you can enjoy it also.

Summary: The only animal is George Orwell!
Review: Of all the things I have ever read! What a terrible and unrealistic story. I mean, how can animals talk? I have a parrot that talks but not in complete sentences. And besides the pigs run the show in this and if it really happened the cats would run things because everyone knows that cats are born leaders. Anyway, I wouldn't reccomend this book to my worst enemy. I read this book to my nephew, Simon and he started crying and now he is afraid of pigs and horses because he says that they will rise up and establish a totalitarianist state and will rule over us. Ughhhh! It gives me a head ache.
