Summary: A very "interesting" book...
Review: I think Animal Farm was interesting in that fact that it was based on Russia's history. At points in the story, it was clear that the story was based on the history of Russia. I really liked this book, and I recommend that everyone read it.

Summary: Animal Farm-fable with a sense of reality in it.
Review: This book, even though the begining isn't that interesting the more you keep on reading the better it gets and in the end it is a really good book. This book has animals for the main character but what it talks about refers to the human race. This book tells us the many characreristics of man;both the good and he bad. Animals in this story show how different people in different 'ranking' of our society is treated and acts differently. Read this book and see what animal represent you the most. It is definitly worth your time. This book is informative yet it has humor and suspense. Some parts makes you laugh or makes you cry and get mad. So just try it out, if you like the book cool, if not hey at least you got a taste of what the Russian Revolution was like!

Summary: Classic
Review: Perhaps the single most effective anti-totalitarian work of the twentieth century. Although the allusions to the Soviet Union are obvious, one shouldn't simply take this as an attack on communism but a warning about ideologues in general. I would recommend reading this alongside another concise, plainly written classic work, Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer."

Summary: More than just a criticism of communism
Review: We should not be content to reduce this book to a mere attack of the Stalinist era of communism, because men may want to reconsider the value of equality among them by some time the economy will have receded in their sight. What Animal Farm tells us then is that too eagerly willing for it leaves wide opens the gates to dictatorship.Orwell's fairy story bears a deep allegory as long as "from pig to man it will be impossible to say which is which". Thereafter it may really becomes a childish view of the Russian's revolution betrayal. But if old Benjamin was right that nothing changes in the long life of a donkey, it will stay a political perennial classic of vital interest for nations.

Summary: Thought Provoking...
Review: You may find it hard to believe that an English major never read Animal Farm. Yet, here I am. The book, while targeting "bad guys" long since gone, remains salient in a time when people are concerned about losing certain freedoms. It's a quick read (can be read in one sitting) and very thought provoking.

Summary: Brilliant, Prophetic, Insightful, and Thought Provoking
Review: I find it curious that George Orwell was a socialist when the "fairy tale" he describes is not an infrequent outcome of socialism -- of good intentions by sincere people going terribly awry and people (animals) worse off from whence they started. Since it is a fairy tale, I assume people can derive from it whatever message they wish. I believe Animal Farm to be an accurate, albeit accelerated, would-be history of the path of socialism and other idealistic utopian schemes. The book is short and easy to read. It's also enjoyable and somewhat humorous. But one turns the final page with an unsettling sadness that the animals could have easily represented the attributes of human beings.

Summary: Not quite what I expected
Review: This book was different from what I thought it would be. I have a definition in my head for a "Fairy story" and I wouldn't call this book one. It leaves you thinking at the end like all good books do and I think you have to know government and politics a little bit(and I don't!)to really understand the depth of this book. Some parts where funny and the characters were good. Read it, but don't expect a happy ending.

Summary: A unique and artistic approach to one of the world's issues.
Review: A completely interesting story of a farm's animals revolution against the farm's owner, where the animals took "office" after him and managing the farm according to their idologies. A society -when reading - you forget that they are animals. So interesting that you cannot leave it until you finish it. I think as many readers share me the openion that the author means by the animal farm, the subject of "Animal farm" he means the socialist and communist society including the leadership. If I can locate my copy I would have read it again and again.
