Summary: Snitch for Brit. Intel. s diatribe on russian revolution
Review: This is george orwells take on the russian revolution that tells lies and myths after another. I would suggest that others read historical tracts to reveal Orwells obivious bias and work for the british ruling class. He maligns the great achievements of the working class in the soviet union to animalism, also how human can change and create a better society. Eventhough the SU had its imperections and finally in the 1950s returned to capitalism(which they called socialism).

Summary: Communist Pigs!
Review: Major had a good idea,but like Karl Marx's,it was not executed the way he thought.Snowball wanted full power,and got it by making extravigant promises-but,like Trotsky,was exiled before he got too much power. Napolean wanted full power,and got it by training dogs secretly,then getting rid of Snowball-and then said he would lead the animals to freedom. Like Stalin,he established a dictatorship. Moses the Raven told wonderful stories of the hereafter-and the animals needed to hear those stories best when they felt downtrodden-for,like religon,Moses' Sugarcandy Mountain was their Opium. Squealer was devoted to reporting the news and like many newspeople,reported it only as he saw it and made it sound good,no matter what! Boxer was devoted to work and the leaders-and like the many workers in camps and factories,did his work mechanicaly until he couldn't any more. Benjamin accepted that life was the way it was,and saw the real truth behind the Rebellion-one ruler would only be replaced by another. For those disppointed in the epilouge in the TNT version-try to imagine it as a reference to the fall of Commuist Russia-which Orwell didn't live to see.

Summary: What a prophetic book!
Review: Usually, left-wingers can never admit that they're wrong even though liberalism died when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. It's "refreshing" to see that Orwell, himself a socialist, was able to critique the idiocy of socialism and communism. Even though many leftists during the 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's believed that communism was the wave of the future, they were mistaken. Animal Farm is a vivid depiction of the horrors of communism that occurred in the Soviet Union and currently occurs in communist countries. The suppression of liberties, rule by leftist elites, violent acts of terror, etc. And with TNT's version of Animal Farm, perhaps socialism and communism will finally be gone from the face of the Earth sometime in the near future.

Summary: The greatest book ever written
Review: I have read this book 6 times. Every time I loved it. It is amazing. Every person should be required to read this book. Not only for it's wonderful quality, but also for it's valuable lessons on totalitarian governments, and how they destroy people. P.S. I saw two minutes of the TNT movie, and knew it sucked. Do not watch. There is a happy ending.

Summary: This is a great book about the communist revolution.
Review: I think that this book is a great allegory relating to the Russian revolution. The animals all represent different people in real life. A great book for everyone to read.

Summary: Excellent portrail of Communism with chilling finish
Review: This book was short lived, but it drove a point. How after all man just goes back to originality and sin. I'm not sure if many writers could paint a picture so clear of communism using the most simple of appeal: A book about animals.

Summary: anti-communist novel by former british secret service agent
Review: Animal Farm is George Orwells anecdote-like tale about what happened in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Many people think that this book deals with the human condition. Quite the contrary: this book builds lies and more distorts the potetial that humanity(in paticular the working class) can achieve. Orwell's vision is cynical and dismisses the millions of workers who struggle and fought to end not only Tsarism but Nazism.
