Rating: Summary: This little piggy went to the market....... Review: .....this little piggy went home, this little piggy formed a totalitarian state. Good book. I loved it, and read it all the way through social studies class. Great satire, and who cares if I got a D in social studies for reading this instead of learning who the president in 1795 was? I forgive Orwell. I want to write funny satire like this. I intend to read 1984 soon. But this is about Animal Farm, not 1984. But I hated Napoleon. That stupid pig idiot killed Bozer! And for what reason? To get a few bucks for his whiskey. Here's a little somthing for Napoleon:<i>May the unholy spirits of Reb and VoDKa raise themselves from the banished land of wind and ghosts, and may they come up and ruin your life, right down to it's very center core. And may the tiniest, but strongest plagues of Satan himself crawl upon your skin and eat themselves to their fill, and then eat more. And may the populace of the globe feel rage against you, and may they carry torches and broomsticks and may they slaughter you, for no apparent reason. The curse of doom is upon you, Napoleon. Beware.</i> Hope ya liked that, Napolack. Anyway, I feel that Animal Farm was an exellent play on the Bolshivek Revolution. George Orwell has done good writing this stuff. This guy writes cool books

Rating: Summary: Bre's Review: This book was recommended by my history teacher, and I am glad to say that it was well worth the read. It is the story of dictatorship gone wrong. Written with a definite touch of cynism, it is in many ways easier to understand than a history book. It's characterisations and representations are clear. It leaves you with a slightly amused yet contemplative feeling. If you want to understand communist Russia, this is the book to read.
Rating: Summary: Four legs good, TWO legs BAD! Review: This was a very powerful book.... It is able to be connected with real life so well that it was kinda scary. An important thing to realize about this book is that when Orwell calls it a "Fairy Tale," it is just that. I read this book for a summer reading project and I am having trouble catching the symbolism and other devices in the story. Beside that flaw I really enjoyed it. It is fun to go from an in-depth novel to a quick fairy tale. A real good summer read!
Rating: Summary: Revolution and uprising Review: "Animal Farm" is a atory based upon the Russian revolution, using animals as the major characters. It shows, through this clever manner, how a perfect dream can go horribly wrong, and the empty morality behind Communism. The idea and genius behind this book is truly tremendous. If I had my way, I would move it instantly to the "Classics" section of the bookstore, as this is what I consider it to be.
Rating: Summary: a brilliant and sharp parody of communism Review: Animal Farm is one of my favourite books. It's a political fable about the betrayal of idealism and its subsequent collapse: The animals of Manor Farm decide to rid themselves of their cruel human master. Once they succeed in this task they start living in a regime the call Animalism (in fact it's communism). Unfortunately after a while the pigs, which are the most clever animals among them, start to take control and exploit the other animals which find themselves hopelessly ensnared in the old ways. The pigs manage to cheat them and re-create an élitarian regime, even if they pretend to be acting for a good cause! I think the last 4 pages are the most beautiful ones... read them attentively!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Review: This is the kind of book to read and reread, and never forget. No matter how old you are, you will find this brilliant book an indisposable addition to your bookshelf. Powerfully written, the lesson within these pages is surprisingly true, and is presented in a way which allows any audience to discover its great meaning and appreciate it appropriately. Orwell deserves credit for this literary and philosophical masterpiece!
Rating: Summary: GIF Review: When a good idea goes bad, this is the outcome. Even the best laid plans have flaws. However, when the creator of the plan originally had ulterior motitives, the worst usually occurs. It teaches many lessons that would not be realized without the help of an English teacher, but those are more of a sub-plot. An excellent book by any means. A good pocket book.
