Rating: Summary: THIS IS A VERRY GOOD BOOK!!!!!!!!!! Review: This was an amazing work of art by George O. I am verry into reading and have been since 3rd grade,but somehow THIS book seemed to capture somthing inside of me . I read the first chapter where old majesty dies and I couldn't put it down I read at night till 2:00 .The animals run the humans off the farm and Manor Farm is thus dubbed Animal Farm. then Snowball and Napolean dont get alongSOAPOLEAN CHASES SNOWBALL OFF THE FARM ANDTELLS THE OTHER ANIMALS how evil he is Thechikens were the only ones to stand up for thmselves.Poor ol Boxer was just too stinken loyal and experienced a tragic death. I cried.Well go read it right now,a story about decepcion ignorance and tragedy,oh ya one more thing it was neat how he compared the animals to the humans it really makes one think "what are we doing to ourselves?"and how over the years the animal seemed to "forget" the last few words on the seven comandments. No animal shall kill any other animal.[without c! ause] No animal shall drink allcohall.[to excess] Untill the pigs said there really wernt 7 rules in the first just the words "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL,BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS" sorry about the above typing.... I was deleating something I dicided to omit and I got all mixed up so some words arent spaced. submitted by Briana Whitted 12 yrs
Rating: Summary: animal farm = good Review: Animal farm usually is overshadowed by 1984. People compare the two works and say that 1984 is much greater and an epic. 1984 is a wondeful book, however; Animal Farm is a terrific novel in its on way. Its simple writing formula with fairy tale feel makes for easy, fun reading. However there is so much allegory and symbolism the book is surely to be appreciated on a higher level than just "a good story". Animal Farm is a wonderful book, i definitely suggest you buy it..NOW!
Rating: Summary: A far-reaching masterpiece. Review: The greatness of Animal Farm lies in Orwell's ability to infuse every sentence with allusions and implications. For American citizens, these allusions are restricted to the Russian revolution; but for somebody who comes from a third world country, this book hits closer to home. Napoleon reminded me of local politicians who, as soon as they attain office, forget about the poor folks who elected them, and focus on hoarding money for themselves. His fierce dogs reminded me of ruthless military men who will do anything in order to insure that their leader retains power. Believe me, this story rings truer than any non-fiction book I've ever read. Lucky those who never have to experience the harrowing conditions that exist in countries that resemble Animal Farm.
Rating: Summary: key summary of humanity and the human nature Review: This book has a likeness to 'Lord of the Flies' and 'The Chocolate war' in the waythat they all represent humanity and in different ways, the Russian Evolution. In all these books there is a German "Hitler" and in all these books a helpless follower.
Rating: Summary: Gripping and exciting Review: This story was a great sattire of the Russian Revolution. The characters were easily related to people in real life and the story made me want to keep reading. I definitely recommend this book to anyone!
Rating: Summary: Great!! Exciting!! Review: This was one of the greatest books I have read in my 12 years!! Although I had to do it for a book report, I still enjoyed it very much. And by the way I got an A on that report. I suggest that any one who likes exciting, young adult style fantasy books, should definetly read this. Go ahead buy it from Amazon.com right now.
Rating: Summary: A MUST-HAVE for your personal library! Review: George Orwell has created a true masterpiece - a basic storyline that is easy enough for a child to understand, but which has a deep, complex hidden meaning in it. Almost every event and character in this book can be traced to its origins as part of the history of the Russian revolution. This edition includes Ralph Steadman's witty line drawings in both black-and-white and also in full color one- and two-page spreads. At the end, as appendices, are two prefaces to Animal Farm, one previously unpublished and the other being the preface to the Ukrainian edition. This is one of those books that every single person HAS to read sometime during his or her life. It is especially good for those in search of a story with more to it than just the plot, a story which has an allegorical level full of satire, criticisms, and moral lessons. Every conflict in the story is ingeniously intertwined with the others, and an abundance of foreshadowing adds to the book. Each of the characters is so well described that the reader gets to know them almost personally during the course of the book. You will LOVE Animal Farm!
Rating: Summary: A fairy story that makes you want to read more. Review: Animal Farm is an enchanting story about greed, life, and politics. It seems that when one person leaves, someone else has to take over. It is a story about intelligence, stupidity, and heroism.
