Summary: A New Look At Communism In the Former USSR
Review: It all starts out as a dream an old pig, Major, has about a society run by animals where all animals are equal. Soon after Major's death, the Rebellion happens. The animals take the farm, and a new civilization is begun. It all starts out well, but Napoleon the pig takes over and begins a Totalitarian government, run by the more intelligant pigs. Soon, their first commandment is changed from "All animals are equal." to "All animals are equal. Some are more equal than others." That's those Commies for ya. It's an intriging look at the Communist take-over of Russia in 1917 and how the longed after utopia was changed to conditions even worse than what was thrown out. The end was abrupt, but I guess you can't have everything. A must read.

Summary: POWER ! this book deserves a thumbs up.
Review: This book tell us about life of the animals on farm.They were badly treated by the farmers on the farm.They managed to drive away the humans and run the farm but unfortunately they grown obsessed with their power, they were destroyed.There, animals are just normal beings which can't take over a particular land. My overall comments for this book is that I find it quite funny when it keeps me wanting to read faster to know what is happening later on. It is a good literature book.This means I highly recommend it to school readers.

Summary: This book would be interesting for politians or farmers.
Review: The book is interesting, especially if you have good background knowledge about the Soviet Union. The book was so interesting until old Major (Marx) died, and unfortunatly he died at the begining of chapter 2. The rest of the chapters were talking about how the smart animals learned from his ideas,and followed him, although they fought with each other and each animal wanted to control the farm by himself. I think old Major is the hero of the story,because he was the one who cared about the animals rights, and then all the other animals followed him.

Summary: Works well on two levels
Review: In this book, George Orwell has basically just written a fable. He has used animals to portray people and happenings of Russia in 1917. Many people read this book on a child's level, but if you read on a higher level you understand it is more than just a story about animals rebelling against the farmer and setting up their own farm. Although I actually just read it on a child's level so I didn't confuse myself, because basically I dont know a thing about Russia, but if you think more about it as you read, you seem to get the basics. The Author has also been exceptionally clever at making the animals seem to be like important people in the Russian Revolution, each having their own individual character. Even if you dont know anything about Russia, it is still quite an interesting book because it is funny to see the difference in people's ( or animals in this case) actions between when they were defenceless, and when they had power.

Summary: A great story describing the history of the revolution
Review: Although short, Owell provides a good description of the Russian Revolution. Using the pigs as a metaphor, Orwell uses the pigs as a metaphor to describe the totalitarian power the Russians had. A great book, and a classic by Orwell.

Summary: It is a SATIRE for the love of God!!
Review: Some of you reveiwers expressed a deep resentment at Animal Farm. Some I can understand, because you are socialists and feel that the book misrepresents you. (little known fact. George Orwell was an ardent Socialist himself. It really wasn't socialism he was condemning but the follies of Human ambitions and wants, shown in the form of totalitarianism.) I want to assure you he didn't. Want annoys me is that most you didn't like the book because it was assigned to you for English or Social Science. So immediatley, you don't understand it, don't think it's worth your time, or don't care. Some of you question the use of animals as characters ("it doesn't sense"). The same reason why any fable or satire would use animals. TO MAKE A POINT! And if you don't get the point from the entire book one sentence from the book should be enough: "All Animals Are Equal, But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others." 'Nuff said.

Summary: Pork from the Swine that eat the Ideas of Free Minds
Review: Animal Farm, a direct translation of the Marxism and Socialism of late Russia, presents a story of animals whose ultimate quest, to create unity under one organized race, fails to be reached. Orwell, A Democratic-Socialist with liberal objectives, organizes this story in perfect proportion, providing unique symbolism and abstract ideas. Perhaps his purpose for the use of animals more easily represents itself by forcing the human readers to look at another group of beings and recognize the wrongs of a popular political force.

Summary: FANTASTIC!

Summary: The first book in my life that i can give rating "5".
Review: Lets say that right now you are in school, and "Animal Farm" you have to read it for your english class i recomend reading it only in SCHOOL and not at home, couse if you are going to spend 5 hours to read it at home you'll hate the book and your teacher couse she took five hours of life out of you. But if you read it in school you most probobly will give it your "5" rating for trhe following reason's.... "time passed by very quickly while you were reading it" and "you actually got a good grade on your report". Overall this book is NOT BORING and/or LAME. Like most of them are...and your school-day will fly by in munutes... enjoy. P.S. i read it too late... teacher gave us a test when everyone was about on thair 10th page.. (i failed) and when i started reading it...and knew the book now very well .. she only gave us a quiz (so my average grade between the TEST & QUIZ is really low. Enough typing , got to go to school in the morning. Good luck. :)
