Summary: Review of Animal Farm
Review: Animal Farm is a ten out of ten book for older children and adults. It may be too sophistacted for younger children but once you get into it, the book is an amazing combination of action, dialogue and politics.
A farm is being over worked. The animals revolt in the beginning of the story. Their take over was surprisingly easy. Of course later in the story the humans come back which takes the form of "The Battle of the Cowshed," and "The Battle of the Windmill." Over all, the book has several casualties. One happens because an animal sees a traitor in a dream.
This story could be too violent for young children. Toward the middle of the story the pigs start changing the commandments that they wrote before the revolt. Eventually they change the commandments from "all animals are equal," to "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others."
Later in the story the pigs (who are smarter) learned how to walk and started carrying whips. They did it so gradually the other animals don't notice.
The moral of the story is "power is addictive once you have it you crave more." Furthermore it is almost impossible to find a good leader that cannot get addicted to control.

Summary: Historical, Real & Prophetic
Review: I don't usually write reviews on well-known works of fiction because most have read them, and there are hundreds of reviews about these works already. But "Animal Farm" is one of the few books that say so much while being so short, and that reveals genius. This book can be quickly read. The concepts and themes are important, frightening--and real. These things did occur in recent world history ie., Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, among others. Many people in the world could benefit from reading it. It reveals the dark side of human nature. If such evil could occur so recently in our so-called modern age, what can take place now or in the not-so-distant future? It has happened before and it will happen again. When individuality, thought, and creativity are suppressed overtly or by subtle means it is nothing but dangerous and sinister. This book is eery. It was also based on pure, unadulterated reality.

Summary: Animal Farm
Review: The main characters of the book is a pig named Napolen, there is a horse named clover and a hole bunch of other animal characters. The setting of the book is at a farm, the farm is ran by the animals of the farm it's name is Manor Farm but the animals call it Animal Farm.This book is animal fiction and the author is George Orwell.
The book is about the animals on Manor farm going on rebellion against the farmer because he doesn't treat them well. The animals scared the farmer away and claimed the farm their own and caled Animal Farm. During the year the animals farmed and kept the farm running. The pigs who were the leaders kept the animals in line. The pigs suggested to make a windmill so the animals did. Then one day one of the leaders was cased away by dogs and Napolen became leader. One night there was a wind storm and knocked down the windmill and the animals had to rebuild it. the pigs were begining to act like humans and the animals didn't like it because the animals barly got any food. To see what happens to the animals you have to read this book.two resons why I liked this book is because it shows what animals might do in the future. the second reason is because it was interesting to see animals rebei against pepole.

Summary: Red Plague
Review: This is a great book describing how greedy rulers can pervert a good meaning philosophy. Communism was good on paper but George Orwell told readers that it was actually very different in practice. This also shows readers how when bad times hit a group of people they are easily tricked, and easily become sheeps to a leader. George Orwell warns us not be weak and not to be tricked. Greedy, power hungry rulers exist in every type of government. Don't give them the power. This is a great book, everyone should have this in their library.

Summary: Short and bitter
Review: This classic "fairy story" was a short and quick read but its impact is nothing of the sort.
It is well accepted that Animal Farm is a ridicule of the events and people following the Russian revolution but the dark themes have been echoed throughout history and into to the new millenium.

Summary: Not Too Shabby
Review: Animal Farm is a book that was written very well. Orwell's talent amazes me in this classic about (on the surface) animals taking over the farm they live on. When reading this book though, it becomes very clear that it is actually based upon the real events of the Russian Revolution, each animal representing a special person in history or a certain genre of people. I would recommend this book to anyone who hasn't already read it. It's a shame that Orwell had to die so young; I bet that he had a lot more classics to come.

Summary: a brief epic
Review: For those without much time to spare might I suggest Animal Farm, a vicious little satire on the pros and cons of government and society. As always Orwell has a lascerating wit and a smooth narrative pacing that makes everything important and nothing dull. Despite the short length there is a great deal of information imparted in glowing, shivering language, simple and yet dignified; chatty and yet sometimes overwhelmingly lofty. And yet the pace of the story will have you racing through it like a 600 page crime novel where everything just keeps getting uglier. Read it in a day, over a weekend, during quiet time on a several day beach vacation.The metaphors aside, this book relates a profound understanding of the very human motives that make community government always aimed toward personal corruption.

Summary: Political Review
Review: I really enjoyed the book 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. One reason I liked it is because of how Orwell uses animals to show the Russian revolution. Another reason is because he predicts the fall of the Soviet Union and how it failed. A third reason is because I like Orwell as a writer. The best part of the book is when Napolean the pig kicks snowball out of the farm and when they take over the Farm. The characters were the best story element in this book. They were well developed and were amazingly like their real life counter parts. Overall Animal farm may be the best thing Orwell ever wrote.

Summary: Animal Farm
Review: This book gives you an excitment. Together you and the animals can experiance a story filled with suspense, thrill and interest.
Some important animals stand out from the other animals.
Others just sit around in the story. Although the last two pages are boring, I still reccomend it. The ending will give you feelings of some of the bad things that are happening in our lives. The utopian society the animals try to create turns into monstorous problems. A nine fits this book for the suspense with interest and excitement. This book is meant for 6th graders and up because it has a true meaning of life now and in the future.
