Summary: Animal Farm-"What a Lousy Book"
Review: This book was about a farm called Animal Farm. The animals can all talk and they don't like to be pushed around by the humans. Because of this they turn on the humans and drive them away from the farm. Then the pigs take charge, and make up rules for the farm. These rules are called the seven commandments. One of them is Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad. The whole farm follows these rules. The reason I rated this book so poorly was because it was boring. It took me days to finish even though it is a short book. If you like books with very little action but, a good theme then you might like this book. But if not, I don't suggest it.

Summary: Great insight...
Review: I never read this in high school, so I picked it up recently. It's a very thin book (a little over 100 pages) and a quick read. I found the story to be very insightful - while the story is about farm animals...the behaviors were very analogous to humans. The story begins with a bunch of farm animals plotting the overthrow of a farm. They are able to take the farm over and kick out the farmer and his family. I loved following the progress of the animals - how they work together, their organizational evolution and power struggles. I found myself comparing the story to corporate America. This was a great book!!

Summary: Animal Farm: Truly a great classic!!
Review: I have been reading all the classics we were suppose to read when we were in high school. This one is the best I have read so far. And no I did not start in alphabeticaly order. A very true tale of what happens when those who aren't used to power get power. We all know people that are good guys, get power, have a total brain melt down and start acting like they are way better then the rest of us. This book would be great for any age. The talking animals will keep any kid riveted long enough for the point to get through, it works well on adults too. Finally a classic that I can read more then one chapter at a time without falling asleep and waking up an hour later in a complete daze. This is diffently a one sitting read.

Summary: My absolute favorite book
Review: I loved this book. actually I should start off by saying that i am 14 and i read this book about 2 years ago when i was 12. i consider myself a pretty intelligent person, and at 12, yes, i was able to pick up on the politics of the story. actually it touched me very much, and it made me very sad. i don't know why i havent read the book more than once, but i most definetly will in the near future. If you don't understand the political aspects of this book then i doubt you'll enjoy it..afterall you are missing the entire point of the book. if you think you will understand the idea of it, then i certainly, highly recommend you read this book..and then read Orwell's other masterpiece, 1984

Summary: Invigorating
Review: I read this book during AP European History to help me fully understand the Russian Revolution. Having a good handle on the key players ( Trotsky and Stalin) I was able to visualize the revolution as if it were happening on the animal farm. THis book is written wonderfully. Knowing that you can read it one of two ways (the figurative way or by converting novel into the russian revolution) you will be pleased to the fullest after reading this book.

Summary: Great book, a little disturbing at times though
Review: I thought this book was very good. It is pretty much about stalin and overtaking trotskee and what happened after. Old major gives a speech to the animals to overtake the farm. Three monthes later he dies. The pigs snowball(trotskee) and napoeleon (stalin) run the overtaking, soon after they harvest nothing happens. Then trouble stirs, napoeleon has his bodyguards(4 dogs) remove snowball from the farm. Napoeleon goes bad and kills many animals on the farm for working with snowball in killing napoeleon. It is suspending and surprising. It is a fearfull future of what might happen. young adults might not understand the political viewpoint but the action will make them want to read it.

Summary: Another 1984
Review: "Animal Farm" is a political story that can be read to both adults and children. It tends to be a summary of 1984. The animals of the farm can talk. They eventually want rid of the humans who enslave them. The pigs, who are smarter, take control. Eventually, then, the pigs become themselves overbearing. Their government is the communism of Stalin: they limit freedom, they lie, cheat, break rules. And hypocritically they set up business plans with humans in secret. "Animal Farm" is the 1984 for children. The seriousness of the story is coupled by talking animals. Talking animals, in any setting, is enough to keep the attention-span of a child. A well done book.

Summary: It's righteous
Review: Animal Farm is a OK book. I like snowball most because he was good to his animals. He is powerless to help any animal on the farm. Snowball had a good mind but he had no heart.
