Summary: it was a great book. very different. exciting and funny.
Review: i thought that book was very interesting. it was different from other books that i have read. instead of having people as the main characters, they have animals. it is full of backstabbing and lying. i would reccomend this book to others because it is full of conflict, and it makes you want to keep reading on. you will keep turning the pages one after one. this book was also very good because it gets you into the book. the author creates a perfect picture of everything that is going on, and you will not have to re-read. it makes you feel as if you are there. i was very mad at one point in the book. i highly reccomend this to anyone who is searching for a good, imaginative, work of art.

Summary: so many truths
Review: I first read this book when I was in grade 7 and have since read it several times thereafter. This book was so informative and moving. The endings was so good I was almost physically sick from disgust of what people can become. I was quite possibly the only 13 year-old who loved this book. This book contained so much irony and intelligence in it's small quantity of pages. I do not however recomend this book for all. In fact I am quite sure that many of you will intensly hate it. Some people find the views of this book to be rather pessimispic but personallly I find these views to be those of a realist. I loved this book and periodically read over again. And if that makes me a dork than I suppose I am a dork.

Summary: This book portryad Communisum in a negative light.
Review: This book was a well writen story of Communisum during the Rusian revolution. I enjoyed reading it. I feel that it is a teriffic explaination of Communisum and how Communist Dictators operate a society. It gives the reader a better way to understand what happened and all the flaws in the Rusian government. Animal Farm wasn't an adventerous or action packed book, so I would not recommend this book to that type of readers. Eventhough the book wasn't action packed, it was not boring either. This book is even a good story for children to read with no understanding at all of the political message. Overall, I think that it is a well writen book that everyone should read.

Summary: An outstanding book that loudly states the hardships faced!
Review: A well written story about a farm taken over by animals. On the previously farm, Manor Farm, the animals felt that they are overworked, underfed, and treated unfairly. When the animals take over the farm and rename it Animal farm idealism takes over. A dream of a paradise of progress, justice, and equality for all was answered when animals acheive their dream. A well written fairy-tale story that deals with totalitarianism that is embraced on the newly developed Animal Farm. When the communism farm makes a drastic change to dictatorship the animals are forced to face with reality. This is an excellent written book, and is great for anyone interested in a book based on history. Today the book still clearly states that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, George Orwell's Animal Farm will have a meaning and message still fresh in our minds as to the outcome of such actions.

Summary: If you enjoy Orwellian satire. . .
Review: I am delighted to have come across another "Orwellian" novel, THE LAST DAY, by Glenn Kleier. In THE LAST DAY, Kleier tackles the subject of authority in organized religion with startling "Orwellian" satire and outrageous wit and irreverence. LAST DAY is a classic, watershed novel in the manner of 1984. I found it a riveting read, and one that I greatly encourage all Orwell fans fans to experience.

Summary: One of the greatest stories I've ever read.
Review: So far, this was the first story I've ever had to read for an assignment in school that I actually enjoyed. And not many other stories have made me laugh out loud, and feel sorry for the characters. This was truly powerful, and actually better to read if you don't think of it as an allegory, even though that's what it's basically known for. It's just a great story.

Summary: Refreshing
Review: "Animal Farm," by Goerge Orwell, is a modern adult fable about a farm that is taken over by the animals on the farm. The animals then set up a system where some animals gather food, others build equipment that will help on the farm, others help plant the food in the spring, and others, mainly the pigs, run the farm. At first, all the animals have equal say in what happens on the farm, but as the years go by, the pigs gain more and more control over the farm. The farm evolves from a communistic setting, to a place where there is a dictator that runs everything. At the beginning of the book, the pigs decide on seven commandments that the farm will go by, and by the end there is only a single commandment. Orwell uses satire in order to make his point known: that communism will never work, nor will a complete dictatorship. He explains that in order for anything to work, everyone must be able to have a say in what goes on in their "country". People will have to find a medium between communism and dictatorship. Orwell does this subtly by using animals and showing how they interact with each other. For example Orwell shows the owners of businesses or leaders of counries by Napolean and how he controls everything, and over works the other animals.
