Rating: Summary: This book is for anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I love this book!!!!!(age nine) It is a book that tells people that animals are superior too. We are the ones that destroy the Earth. We cannot run as fast as most animals. We need help from those animals out there!! That's why God put them here!!! This book also was a retelling of communism and dictatorship. It's a very imaginative way of telling the story!! Poor Old Major dies in the begginning of the story. He was pretty old, though! After that, the animals are told of the wonderful Sugarcandy Mountain, which kind of explains the peace. A while later, the animals decide to build a windmill. Snowball has revenge, and knocks it down. This explains how the war starts (He did this because of the dogs). Snowball then mixes weeds with the corn seed, and then the crops go bad. The battle of cowshed is a horrible part. Lots of creatures die. A long time after that, the pigs and sheep change the motto of "Two legs good, four legs better!" into 'Four legs good, two legs better!'And then the pigs practically turn into men. I have learned a lot from this short book, it taught me a lesson. 'Two legs good, four legs a lot better!' Anyone interested in that kind of stuff should have this book!! It's one of the best!!!! I am very strong and have the ability to run on four legs. I know it's hard to believe that I am 9, but it's 100% true.(I swear!) This book was so easy to read and understand!!! I'm sure when I get older I will have no problem wrting a report on this book!!!!!!!!!!! I am also a big farm animal-lover. I think there should be a sixth star for this book!
Rating: Summary: This book is laced with nicotine!! Review: It seems like this is a consensed 600-page novel. Animal Farm is a book you read and when it's done you think "Wow, that was fast," and read it again. It teaches important lessons about communism and how the only people who support it are the weak and ignorant or those who gain omnipotence. This is the only great book I have ever been forced to read. You say you're going to put it away as soon as the next chapter ends, but end up staying up until 2 AM reading. Hey, it's only $5.
Rating: Summary: This book is the truth. Review: I love this book for many reasons. Here are 2. I learned a lesson. And I love the descriptive way that George wrote this book. Humans are the most dangerous animals on this planet. Don't you realise that we need animals to survive?! They are the superior ones, not us. All we are doing is just destroying this planet. The animals are helping us. They are stronger. Long live animals!! We are bad!!!!!!People should realise that the Indians lived without machinery. Why can't we? We Could use computers still, but other things we are capable of selling.(This book is a retelling version of dictatorship and communism.)
Rating: Summary: i hate those pigs! Review: bad pigs,nasty pigs, ugly pigs, i hate those pigs!! long live boxer!
Rating: Summary: Animal Farm was very eventful!! A very good book. Review: Animal Farm is one of my ten best books. I liked how the animals acted when certain things were going on. I could have read the book many times without it getting at all boring.
Rating: Summary: This book is one of the best books ever written! Review: This is one of the best books ever written, if not the best. I loved it (13 years old) and I encurage anyone to read it. This work is magnificent.
Rating: Summary: intelligently written Review: This book is the most well written book of its time. In every chapter of the book, there is always something surprising , yet this book may be of adult literature i recommend it for high school students all over the world.
Rating: Summary: The Contradiction: two legs bad, or better? Review: I don't see any point in writing that it was an excellent book because it just is so. It was superb. When I got the book and I had to finish it in a week or so, I was gonna have heart attacks but later I saw that half of the book was actually the description of the book! Anyway, I'm sure I would have read and finished it in 2 days even if it were 600 pages. I think George Orwell did a great job in telling the tiniest details of the animal-people, and how some can get on well and some can't with the changes in the commandments, behaviors and reactions to the outer forces and to the cunning and cruel Napoleon the pig's tricks. The sheep saying "four legs good, two legs bad" and at the end this motto changing into "four legs good, to legs better", the change in the commandments such as the "to excess" addition to "no animal shall drink alcohol", and the 7 commandments changing into only 1. This is all great and true stuff. In our school, this was also put on stage and people who couldn't get the chance to read the book watched the play and they really loved it. "They looked at to the pigs and to the men... pigs to men... and they couldn't tell... which... was... which..."
Rating: Summary: MAKES STALIN LOOK LIKE A PIG Review: First of all, anyone taking this book beyond its symbolic satirism is totally missing the message in the book. The book should only be difficult to read if you haven't passed the eighth grade: it's pretty short. This book is great in that it breaks the Russian communist system and its history down basically and very accurately. The book also goes to show that communism, though it may look good on paper, can not operate effectively in today's world.
Rating: Summary: Verry good! Review: It is the best book I've ever read(12 years old). And no I am not a geek!
