Summary: A brilliant fable of satire.
Review: "Animal Farm" by George Orwell is an adult fable. In a unique way Orwell describes Soviet Communism using farm animals in place of humans. The animals take over a farm with their motto, all animals are equal. The new Animal Farm seems to be running beautifully; all the animals respect one another and life has never been better. Overtime, the pigs create a new motto that some animals are more equal than others. The dream of once being equal and for all animals to live in luxury is soon forgotten.Using satire, George Orwell portrays barn yard animals in a political fairy tale. With humor and wit, he discuses Communistic views in attempt to state his somewhat bleak yet historic tale. The overworked animals set out to create their own paradise. All goes well for the animals, better than ever until the pigs decide to form a dictatorship saying they are the intelligence of the farm. The pigs end up changing the rules previously set and become more uncaring and more controlling than the former human master. Orwell's unique way of reiterating a historical event is brilliant indeed.

Summary: The best book on Soviet Union I've ever seen
Review: Though 'Animal Farm' allegedly is a story about dictatorships in general, the resemblance to the Soviet Union is remarkable. That is probably the reason why I appreciate it much more than '1984'. It's incredible that a person living in a free world could possess such understanding of what Soviet Union was really about and was also able to express it in an animal tale with tens of ingenious and funny details that matched so exactly with actual events in the USSR's history. I don't know if the book's of any value for the people who have never lived in a Socialist society. But for me, it'll always be THE ultimate political satire.

Summary: Great book, but you should be careful.
Review: Hi. My name is Lee. I am a Korean. It seems that many reviews show that this book gives us the reason that communism does not works well and doomed to fail. I think that the word "communism" should be replaced by the word "totalitarianism". Of course, social system under the dictators like Stalin, Hitler or any other leaders who ignore personal right should be hated and destroyed. But this book does not deny the needs of progress and reforms to our society. This book does not justify this real world full of unjustice done by the "fat pigs". That was not the purpose of the author.

Review: I READ ANIMAL FARM ALMOST 5 TIMES AND BELIEVE ME IT IS A GOOD BOOK. UNFORTUNATELY IT DEPICTS WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PRESENT WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN ESPECIALLY THE THIRD WORLD OF AFRICA WHERE COUNTRIES'S RESOURCES ARE ILL MANAGED AND LEADERS IN SUCH COUNTRIES IN SUCH COUNTRIES DON'T HAVE A GOAL OF IMPROVING THEIR CONUTRIESBUT TO AMASE WORLTH IN A BAD AND UNETHICAL WAY.

Summary: The book is a very good and well writien
Review: The book I read was Animal Farm. I thought it was a very good book I liked how they used animals to be the main charters in the book. I thought it was a very interesting book. The animals did not like how the owner was handling things at the farm, so they took over the farm and the pigs starting running the farm and things got a little better, but not as good as the outer animals thought it would go. The pigs starting to get the idea that they were invincible and did not even care about the other animals. They starting getting careless and did not do nothing but get drunk and tell other animals what to do. The other animals finally found out what was going on and did not take it any more and got rid of the pigs and had their own little farm.

Summary: I think it was excellent!
Review: I have enjoyed this book very much. At first I really expected it to one of those fairy tail stories for younger kids, so I didn't really expect to like it very much. In fact the only reason that I decided to read this book is because it looked like it would be easy to read. I found out very quickly that it is very easy to read and comprehend. It is also very interesting. Your imagination can run wild while you are reading this book if you'll let it. George Orwell, in my opinion, is an absolutely wonderful writer. He shows exactly what he is feeling in his heart in a way that is very easy to understand, for people of all ages. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a book that will let you use your imagination, and help you to think like a kid again.
