Summary: Animal Farm was a good book .
Review: Animal Farm is written by George Orwell. The book is based on animals acting like humans. The animals rebel and end up taking control of Manor Farm, getting rid of Jones. The animals on Animal Farm each had positions in relation to a government. The pigs were the leaders and all the other animals were the followers. I found the book intriguing because to picture animals in the position they were in and the power they had allowed me to read on. The example Orwell sets is to show how humans also can be manipulated and, how it happens everyday, in different situations. The meaning of the book changed in the ending. The animals began acting like humans. This was a disappointment because it lost the whole meaning of the book. They used to say "four-legs good two-legs bad" the meaning changed to four-legs good two-legs better."

Summary: Read this book.
Review: Animal Farm is a book that is well worth reading. The plot of this book seemed simple at first, but it actually showed a great point. It showed that power can corrupt anybody, even an animal. The book began with animals overthrowing the humans that took poor care of them. The animals decided amongst themselves that they were all equal, but that was not how it turned out. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well written story.

Summary: The book was very good and interesting.
Review: Tracy Audet

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a great book to read. Orwell uses animals instead of humans for a more interesting approach to the book. This book delivers a few important messages that only the reader can determine.

The reason why I like the book is because I think it's funny picturing all these farm animals talking to each other and kicking Jones out of the farm. The book is easy reading and it stays with the same theme till the last two chapters. The main theme of the book is "four-legs good, two-legs bad". The animals get so mixed up in working around the farm that they end up acting like humans which destroys the theme of the book. In the last few chapters, the pigs are drinking and playing cards with the humans and saying " four-legs good, two-legs better". I still think the book is great to read however, the last few chapters show you that animalism never really existed, and the pigs are just like some humans, they think they are better than everyone else.

Summary: Animal Farm is a great and easy book to read.
Review: Cindy Hunt Book Review 9/29/98

Animal Farm by George Orwell is about a bunch of animals trying to outsmart a human race, and develop their own way of life. The animals create their own government based on the principles of "animalism." Animalism becomes their way of creating laws, laws that will eventually destroy their small animal community. Disaster results when a war between humans and animals breaks out, causing injury and death.

What lies ahead will be suicide and executions as a result of control. One powerful animal will take advantage of the whole farm. The animals live a fearful life, obey every command or die. The animals soon learn that their determination will be the only thing that will keep them alive.

This book is easy to read. Animal farm is a story of control, determination, and hardship. A story for all ages to enjoy, it also makes for great discussion. Animal Farm is absolutely enjoyable.

Summary: My review is about how it relates to politics.
Review: ANIMAL FARM is a great book that shows the type of government that was going on in the 1940's. George Orwell used animals to represent different types of people from government officials to regular citizens. This book makes readers think of what is going on in politics, but George Orwell also makes fun of the politicians. Every animal represents someone in society. This book is a great representation of the communist age that was going on at this time. That is why I liked this book.

Summary: Excellent book i hope you read it.
Review: This novel is an excellent quick read that pokes at socialism and dictatorship. After the rebellion against farmer Jones all the animals thought they would have a better life. "All animals are equal" was the slogan the animals believed in until Napoleon the evil pig took over and led a harsh dictatorship. By the finial chapter the slogan was "all animals are equal, but some are more equal then others,"

Summary: Overall this was a good book, and every one should read it.
Review: Animal Farm is an amusing fable that is a great example of events in history where power has been abused. This story of rebellion, manipulation, and lies will cause you to never want to put this book down! George Orwell has definitely reflected how the quest for power can cause people, or in this case animals, to do horrible things. Overall this was a great book, and i recommend every one to read it!!!

Summary: It is one of those books that you just can't put down.
Review: Animal Farm is one of those books that, once you pick it up, you can't put it down. I think it was very good book. I am one of those persons who really just doesn't like to read, but Animal Farm seemed to capture something within which made me want to read it. Animal Farm teaches you about the way humans act. It deals with how people can be taken advantage of if they don't understand what's going on around them. I feel you have to be at a certain maturity level to understand the content of the book. However, once you can grasp the meaning of the book, you will, I believe, like it a lot. I feel Animal Farm is a very good book, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the way humans act.

Summary: The book that finds humor in government
Review: George Orwell wrote Animal Farm in the early 1940's. The book pokes fun at the political situation of the time. Led by the pigs, the animals of Mr. Jones' farm rebel against all humans and form their own government of "Animalism". The pigs use their brains to take advantage of the other animals by making them do all the work. Over the course of time, their government falls apart and things get a little out of hand... Animal Farm is a very well written and enjoyable book if the right person is reading it. I was assigned to read this book for a senior English class and it seemed as though I was the only one in the class who was not interested in it. Personally, I have never enjoyed or even understood politics. I would much rather be reading a more realistic book that I can relate to better. However, if you are interested in politics and government, and think you'd enjoy reading about it in a humorous way, read George Orwell's Animal Farm.

Summary: The opressed revolt and become opressors.
Review: Fantastic! If you like a great ending that is very, very satisfying this is your book. It's very, very short (less than 100 pages), I read it in a day. Characters are well crafted; Orwell did a fine job. One of the best books with a political/moral theme, ever.
