Summary: An Instant Classic For All
Review: There are few books that can be appreciated as both a grown adult and a young child. "Animal Farm" is one of these rare delights that can provolk emotions, and light a fire under the reader reguardless to whom that person may be. I remember reading it as a child and describing it as a 'really scary book.' Now that I'm a collage student studying riots and rebellions, I was curious to see what the book would mean to me now. And to no surprise it was still 'scary' but on a new level. "Animal Farm" is a masterpiece that should be used as a learning tool at all age levels and should forever be appreciated as the timless classic that it is. If you have yet to read this book, you have no clue what you are missing.

Summary: Animals Revolt For Freedom
Review: This book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell is excentlly written. Not only is well written but it is also fun to read. The Arthur uses animals instead of human to express what he wants to say. And that is that dictatorship is inhuman and wrong. He uses this book to portray communism in the Soviet Union. The animals in this book are fed up with their human master, Mr. Manor, who mistreats and underfed the animals. The animals who are told by Old Major, a white boar that he saw in a dream that the animals would revolt and take over the farm. This prove to be true as the animals did revolt and successfully drive out their human master. This, the animals rename the farm from "Manor Farm" to "Animal Farm". However, the animal do not enjoy prosperity as they have hope but actually they would be worst of then with their humen master because Napoleon, one of the boar takes over power and starts a dictatorship. Animal Farm relates very well to human government. Such as in Russia and in China. Where the form of government is communism. From an outside point of view it is supposedly that all person are equal. There is no one person richer then the other are more powerful then the other but this is untrue because in these two countries. The government is ruthless and non tolerant of free speech. The government is the central and most powerful group in the country. After reading this book, I found it very enjoyable. I couldn't put it down after starting to read it because the author uses animals in a way that make them seem human. Not only is the text simple to read and understand but you also get to learn about something. And that is the government form, communism. The book slowly shows how ruthless communism can be such as with the animals being slaughter for standing up to Napoleon. I would rate this book if it was on a scale of one to ten a nine because not only was it enjoyable to read but you actually can learn something from this book and that is that communism is not what it is suppose to be.

Summary: 'Animal Farm' The easiest way to understand the Russian Revo
Review: George Orwell magically captures the characters and characteristics of the Russian Revolution in a way which captivates both adults and children. Animal Farm is not just an analogy of how political ideologies can become mutated, but how most ideal social organisations become corruptible in some way.

Summary: Animal Farm is very good
Review: This book is most definitely the best book for the child starting to read the classics (me). What I liked about the book most is that you get to choose how deeply you want to read into the plot. For the inexperienced reader, it could be a light-hearted story about the betrayal of a comrdade, to the experienced person, it can represent a powerful story of the democracy turned totalitarisim by a greedy leader. This book is great becaue it wasn't just a ultra-deep book, the personification of the animals provided a little "break" from the intensity of this novel. Without it, the story would be too powerful, and would be disliked. Good work by Orwell

Summary: Excellent Political Satire
Review: Animal Farm is a very well-written, interesting satire of revolution and totalitarianism. Despite its age (the book was first published in 1945) it remains relevant to this day. Although it is often interpreted as a satire of Communism, I think that it can represent any form of oppression. After all, in the end, when the animals are watching the pigs (Communists) and the humans (Capitalists) playing cards, they "looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." Animal Farm is as much a satire of oppressive capitalists as it is of oppressive Communists, because when you get right down to it, there isn't that much of a difference. This book is still relevant today, particularly in the assessment of the way that one form of oppression ends, only to usher in another. Looking at events in places like Bosnia and Congo (formerly Zaire) I think that this book still has a useful message today

Summary: THE POLITICAL BOOK OF THE NUCLEAR AGE
Review: I READ THIS BOOK FOR A READING ASSIGNMENT AND IT TOOK ME BY STORM (IN A GOOD WAY, OF COURSE). I WAS AMAZED BY HOW THE CLEVER PIGS RULED OVER THE REST OF THE ANIMALS AND ABOLISHED LAWS, SECRETLY, THAT ONE OF OWN KIND, WHO THEY HONOURED, DREAMED OF MANY YEARS AGO. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR SOMEONE THAT IS VERY INTERESTED IN POLITICS. THE ENDING, THOUGH, SEEMS TO BE CUT OFF RATHER SHORT

Summary: Nice fairy tale, no message
Review: Enjoyable fairy tale, good for young kids, enjoyable for older ones too, there is no politicial message. True it reflects some asspects of soviet "communism", but it gives no reasons for why the pigs became greedy. It just happened, and communism will never be a workable system "just because" according to this book

Summary: Totalitarianism results in a population's inability to fight
Review: Orwell's Animal Farm is a stirring story of a totalitarianism
regime and its betrayal of its constituentsas a fable; a
children's story of a farm gone crazy.
Offering a literary lesson built on brilliant and amusing character studies, this
book centres on a farm of animals in a political satire
exposing the evils of totalitarianism. The pigs lead the other
animals in a revolt against the cruel tyranny of their
human masters, only to fall into the same evils ways.
Orwell's writing style is deceptively simple. He generally
makes the excesses, corruption and abuses of power grossly explicit. After the Battle of the Cowshed, the pigs began to
transform deliciously into replicas of the abusive people they displaced to run the farm themselves. While the ever-hardworking
horses, Boxer and Clover, toil to keep the farm going, the
overwhelming Napoleon and sycophantic Squealer lazed around,
giving lame excuses to trick the animals who are not of first-rate intelligence.
On the whole, this political thriller is a masterpiece of political satire, which bonds the reader
to the feelings felt by the suffering animals.
