Animal Farm

Rating:
Summary: The book ANIMAL FARM was a menace to humanity.
Review: The book ANIMAL FARM was a deceitful and untrue book. It was full of lies implying that socialism was wrong to the reader who didn't read meaning into George Orwell's book. Some people may say that the book was a great acheivement and made us get rid of communism and socialism, but they may have also watched the movie. The movie ANIMAL FARM made the book seem 100 times better than it actually was. There may be people in the world who have absolutely no taste, and have a great love for the book Animal Farm, but if you have any sense you will do anything to get out of reading the book, including burning the book.

Summary: Animal Farm is a book that everyone ought to read!!!
Review: I was simply enthralled when I picked up a copy of George Orwell's Animal Farm. It was impossible to put down until I had read through it. Even though I read the book 3 weeks ago, I am living it every moment. I can not seem to keep my mind off it. I am in awe of the way Orwell can tell a tale on a simple level of literature, a satire on the russian government, and a guide to much deeper things... life's truths. Every person ought to read this book sometime in their life, preferably at an early age. In fact, they should read it the moment they become literate. Before that, they should hear it from someone else's mouth. If this isn't enough to convey my thoughts to you, let me continue. The pages of animal farm should wallpaper every reputable building. Due to time and space constraints, I must stop. If you only take one thing out of this review, let it be these 3 words. Read Animal Farm. You won't regret it, I promise!

Summary: sure...
Review: I enjoyed it. A lot. AND I REALLY AM 11 YEARS OLD! When you think about it, Animal Farm is frighteningly realistic and horrifying. We are the pigs...who are the other farm animals? Even though G.O. used animals, he was actually portraying us...in the way we could be. A fictional account of what could happen in a communism world.

Summary: An extremely good book and warning
Review: Animal Farm is a great book. It is a symbolization of the Bolzevak Revolution. There is a great old pig named old major (he represents Lenin) who proposes a Utopia in which all animals are equal. When he dies two of his successors, Napolean (Stalin) and Snowball (Trotsky), fight each other for control of the farm. Though this book was written a while ago, it almost predicts the collapse of the USSR. Very well written. I read this book in 9th grade and understood it then. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Magnificent book with Orwellian truths about capitalism
Review: Animal Farm by George Orwell is a fascinating book that shows the viscious cycle our society is in; not only about the meat industry but also about capitalism. The book shows how greed controls and ignorance follows. One old white boar named Major started informing the animals that they wer only living to die. After Major died Snowball and Napoleon assuumed leadership. The rebellion was successful, the animals raged and Mr. Jones, owner of the Manor farm, left. After awhile Napoleon inforced his power by fear with nine huge dogs. When he didn't want the competition of Snowball anymore he sent the dogs to chase him out but Snowball escaped underground. I could go on but I don't want to ruin it for you. The book pretty much shows how easily "good" is manipulated. I recommend this book to everyone. It will give you a new understanding and view point on our society. Wow!! I just read the review of [e-mail], One of the Most misunderstood books of Our Time, it was brilliantly written. Please take the time out to read it.

Summary: This book tells you a lot about Russia and communism.
Review: This book is very well written, and I think Orwell is great writer. Although this book tells all about communism in Russia, it is very hard for thirteen year old kids like me to understand and relate to it. When I read this book I had no clue about some of the things they said. I recommend this book for the older crowd. This book is a very good satire on communism and their rulers. I learned a lot from this book.

Summary: This book describes humans as political "pigs"
Review: Animal Farm thoroughly impressed me with how Orwell so easily described how humans' actions can be mocked by animals. You don't realize that you are reading a book about politics and communism that makes fun of how humans behave until you finish. It takes a writter of great skill and experience to create such a profound and philisophical novel. It is a well written masterpiece to say the least.

Summary: Revolution is a good thing...sometimes.
Review: This book demonstrates that absolute power corrupts absolutely, no matter in what country or during what era revolution occurs.

Rating:
Summary: "Animal Farm" should be required reading for everyone.
Review: This is a very upsetting, unsettling book that should be read with extreme care. Never have I actually gotten angry, literally, at the characters, in this case the pigs, in a story. Orwell has extreme insight into the human condition in everything he wrote, i.e. "1984," but to the extent that "Anmial Farm" is written, it is quite unnerving. Bravo to Mr. Orwell for this, unfortunaltely, very realistic book about hypocrasy, deciet, lies, political sabatoge, and the condition of the human heart and mind.
