Summary: Classic
Review: This book should be a mandatory read for anyone who "walks on two legs".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a prophetic book!
Review: Usually, left-wingers can never admit that they're wrong even though liberalism died when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. It's "refreshing" to see that Orwell, himself a socialist, was able to critique the idiocy of socialism and communism.

Even though many leftists during the 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's believed that communism was the wave of the future, they were mistaken. Animal Farm is a vivid depiction of the horrors of communism that occurred in the Soviet Union and currently occurs in communist countries. The suppression of liberties, rule by leftist elites, violent acts of terror, etc.

And with TNT's version of Animal Farm, perhaps socialism and communism will finally be gone from the face of the Earth sometime in the near future.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest book ever written
Review: I have read this book 6 times. Every time I loved it. It is amazing. Every person should be required to read this book. Not only for it's wonderful quality, but also for it's valuable lessons on totalitarian governments, and how they destroy people.

P.S. I saw two minutes of the TNT movie, and knew it sucked. Do not watch. There is a happy ending.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great book about the communist revolution.
Review: I think that this book is a great allegory relating to the Russian revolution. The animals all represent different people in real life. A great book for everyone to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent portrail of Communism with chilling finish
Review: This book was short lived, but it drove a point. How after all man just goes back to originality and sin. I'm not sure if many writers could paint a picture so clear of communism using the most simple of appeal: A book about animals.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: anti-communist novel by former british secret service agent
Review: Animal Farm is George Orwells anecdote-like tale about what happened in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Many people think that this book deals with the human condition. Quite the contrary: this book builds lies and more distorts the potetial that humanity(in paticular the working class) can achieve. Orwell's vision is cynical and dismisses the millions of workers who struggle and fought to end not only Tsarism but Nazism.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great book !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read in the "Must Read of the Must Reads" section.
Review: Spooky, if nothing else. The use of a word as childish as "spooky" would complement this book greatly, since the seemingly childish approach of using animals to prove a very human point at first seems 'off center' or unnatural. Orwell is a genius who paints an elaborate picture of society ....with crayons. In an attempt to create a Utopian society, the self appointed leaders of this book's revolution are seduced by the allure and power of a possible dictatorship. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Orwell made no mistake when he chose the pigs as the closest mirror of our (humans) most wicked ways.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST READ!!!!
Review: Animal Farm by George Orwell, is a classic masterpeice. It was a great book when I read it as a cartoon, it was a great book when I read it as a representation of the key people in Communist Russia, and it was a great book as a short and easily understandable representation of how "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutley." I would suggest this book to anybody looking for an intelligent and interesting book, written by one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. I have read all of George Orwell's books and I thik they are all fantastic, but animal farm takes the cake! All people should be required to read this book, so that we never fall victim to what happened in Communist Russia. READ THIS BOOK!
