Animal Farm

Summary: Wonderful satire and allegory on the Bolshevic Revolution
Review: Orwell does a wonderful job of writing a simple allegory on the Bolshevic Revolution of the early 1900's. It was very simple to understand and the idea of making the setting at a farm was great. However, I felt it was a bit unchallenging for my high school freshman honors english class.

Summary: Surprising and full of adventure.
Review: George Orwell's Animal Farm goes beyond being a great story. Orwell is able to tie his book in with important historical events. The story which takes place on a farm, is about the leadership of animals without human interference. They eventually are able to reach their goal. However, upon doing so some of the animals become un-loyal and dishonest to the animal code or amendments. I found this book to be very interesting and fun to read. Through the eyes of the reader the story may seem odd or unreal. The actions of the animals can easily be related to the actions of important historical figures.

Summary: it was a great book. very different. exciting and funny.
Review: i thought that book was very interesting. it was different from other books that i have read. instead of having people as the main characters, they have animals. it is full of backstabbing and lying. i would reccomend this book to others because it is full of conflict, and it makes you want to keep reading on. you will keep turning the pages one after one. this book was also very good because it gets you into the book. the author creates a perfect picture of everything that is going on, and you will not have to re-read. it makes you feel as if you are there. i was very mad at one point in the book. i highly reccomend this to anyone who is searching for a good, imaginative, work of art.

Summary: so many truths
Review: I first read this book when I was in grade 7 and have since read it several times thereafter. This book was so informative and moving. The endings was so good I was almost physically sick from disgust of what people can become. I was quite possibly the only 13 year-old who loved this book. This book contained so much irony and intelligence in it's small quantity of pages. I do not however recomend this book for all. In fact I am quite sure that many of you will intensly hate it. Some people find the views of this book to be rather pessimispic but personallly I find these views to be those of a realist. I loved this book and periodically read over again. And if that makes me a dork than I suppose I am a dork.

Summary: This book portryad Communisum in a negative light.
Review: This book was a well writen story of Communisum during the Rusian revolution. I enjoyed reading it. I feel that it is a teriffic explaination of Communisum and how Communist Dictators operate a society. It gives the reader a better way to understand what happened and all the flaws in the Rusian government. Animal Farm wasn't an adventerous or action packed book, so I would not recommend this book to that type of readers. Eventhough the book wasn't action packed, it was not boring either. This book is even a good story for children to read with no understanding at all of the political message. Overall, I think that it is a well writen book that everyone should read.

Summary: An outstanding book that loudly states the hardships faced!
Review: A well written story about a farm taken over by animals. On the previously farm, Manor Farm, the animals felt that they are overworked, underfed, and treated unfairly. When the animals take over the farm and rename it Animal farm idealism takes over. A dream of a paradise of progress, justice, and equality for all was answered when animals acheive their dream. A well written fairy-tale story that deals with totalitarianism that is embraced on the newly developed Animal Farm. When the communism farm makes a drastic change to dictatorship the animals are forced to face with reality. This is an excellent written book, and is great for anyone interested in a book based on history. Today the book still clearly states that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, George Orwell's Animal Farm will have a meaning and message still fresh in our minds as to the outcome of such actions.
