Summary: OK BOOK, Read if bored.
Review: This book wasn't as good as everyone says it was. It is a little messed up because of the pigs and humans...

That's my opinion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book I've ever been forced to read!!
Review: Normally, when books are assigned at school, I sigh, and force myself to finish the book because it is either boring, long, or slow-moving. Animal Farm was none of these. Not only was it a wonderful book, it had a deeper root in the Communist Russian Revolution. I recommend this book to anyone!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellant
Review: This is an excellant short novel that is very enjoyable to read, but is more appreciated if the reader understands the deeper meaning behind the "fairy story" that Orwell was trying to convey to the reader. If one has read "Animal Farm" no doubt they have because either they read "1984" or vice versa. If not it is a must to read Orwell's most well known masterpiece, "1984", because it strikes a very similar chord as "Animal Farm" does. And like "1984", "Animal Farm" is strikingly prophetic and amazingly accurate in depicting our government today. At Animal Farm, Napoleon simply changed the rules pertaining to himself while the others still had to abide by them much the same way as government creates loopholes today for high-ranking government officials; i.e. the recent presidential impeachment trial. "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS." How true.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It gives you something to think about.
Review: Animal Farm is a very good, but short, book about some animals that feel they are being mistreated by their human masters. They take over the farm, deciding never to behave as humans do. The pigs, however, keep breaking all of the rules and end up treating the other animals worse than the humans did. The last sentence is powerful.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I READ THIS BOOK AND LIKED IT
Review: THIS WAS A REALLY GOOD BOOK. IT WAS ABOUT PIG WHO RUN THE FARMER OFFTHE FARM.I READ IT IN ABOUT A WEEK. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I READ. I WOULD REACOMEND THIS BOOK TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book w/ a strong ending
Review: when i was assigned this book to read for english class, i thought it would be boring because it was about animals taking over a farm- how realistic could that be???? but as i read on, i was given insight into a world of communism and injustice and i quickly read this book. my favorite part was the last quote, it was amazing. read this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Orwell not an anti-socialist!
Review: I walked away from both "1984" and "Animal Farm" a bit depressed, but always with a new perspective on things. Its about the sharpest attack on Communism, the Russian revolution, and the Totalitarian idea I've ever seen.....written by a man who was himself a Socialist! Don't forget Orwell was not against Socialism itself, but the direction greedy dictators like Joseph Stalin (or should I say Napoleon the pig?) were taking it.

This is the ultimate story of the betrayed revolution, and a very good book that you can finish in one sitting. I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is a book with a higher meaning
Review: It's a story about animals who take over a farm, yet Orwell is really exposing the hypocracy of Socialism/Communism. When you read this book, you understand how socialist programs will fail everytime. His book is true prophecy of the downfall of Soviet Communism. This is a book that stays with you and helps you relate to modern day political struggles. IF YOU LIKE THIS BOOK THEN READ "1984"!!! It pushes beyond "Animal Farm" and demonstrates the true horror of a socialist society.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An excellent parody of human nature.
Review: I read this book for an English class . At first I wasn't impressed and I didn't see the conection to communism. As read farther, I realized what it was all about. I strongly recommend this book to any one who needs a change of perspective.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my personal top 10
Review: probably the most enlightening 90 minutes you will ever spend...the world will definitely look different after reading this book. intended by orwell to be anti-communist satire, i think just about every episode is equally fitting to anti-communist usa.
