Rating: Summary: It was pretty good Review: I was assigned this book by my literature teacher about a week ago and finished it a while ago. It was pretty good and in no parts was it boring or off subject. The only thing I have to say about this is that the ending could have been a bit better. It was good but ould have been a little bit better.
Rating: Summary: Amazing! Review: This book was a great book for young adults. It never got boring. The only part I can't figure out is the theme of the story. I am a freshman in high school.
Rating: Summary: This is a book everyone should read! Review: I had seen the movie, heard many book talks, and discussions in English and History both. So when I found out I had to read it I wasn't too anxious to read the book. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. The concept of it is really frightening. The laws kept being changed to fit the pigs desires. The drastic changes at the beginning were accepted and Animal Farm was much better than the original Manor Farm. Animal Farm gradually kept getting worse. The ample food turned into crumbs. The name Manor Farm was changed back. The farm turns out much worse than it ever started with, but the animals supported the pigs and they couldn't remember their way of life with the farmer. The animals representing the actual Russian Revolution makes it even more interesting and frightening. I recommend this book to everyone. It is simple to read so anyone can read it. However, it has mature themes, that really make you think.
Rating: Summary: Vivid storytelling and deep understanding of human nature Review: I first read the book in 1992, my second year in college in central China, and in 1995, I had a book of my own and read it again and again. Now I have finished translating it into Chinese, wistfully looking for a publisher.I believe an interesting book like Aniaml Farm will surely have its Chinese edition around China one day. I still have some questions need to know about some details about the exact translation such as Crown Derby (?). Anyone would like to help or discuss with me, please contact me by email.
Rating: Summary: Very,Very,Very,Very, Interesting... Review: I think " Animal Farm '' was a good book. It's the best book I've read over communism acts and about humans that still act like that today! Animal Farm is a true classic. I give it five stars for an excellent book!!
Rating: Summary: A very "interesting" book... Review: I think Animal Farm was interesting in that fact that it was based on Russia's history. At points in the story, it was clear that the story was based on the history of Russia. I really liked this book, and I recommend that everyone read it.
Rating: Summary: Animal Farm-fable with a sense of reality in it. Review: This book, even though the begining isn't that interesting the more you keep on reading the better it gets and in the end it is a really good book. This book has animals for the main character but what it talks about refers to the human race. This book tells us the many characreristics of man;both the good and he bad. Animals in this story show how different people in different 'ranking' of our society is treated and acts differently. Read this book and see what animal represent you the most. It is definitly worth your time. This book is informative yet it has humor and suspense. Some parts makes you laugh or makes you cry and get mad. So just try it out, if you like the book cool, if not hey at least you got a taste of what the Russian Revolution was like!
Rating: Summary: Classic Review: Perhaps the single most effective anti-totalitarian work of the twentieth century. Although the allusions to the Soviet Union are obvious, one shouldn't simply take this as an attack on communism but a warning about ideologues in general. I would recommend reading this alongside another concise, plainly written classic work, Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer."
Rating: Summary: More than just a criticism of communism Review: We should not be content to reduce this book to a mere attack of the Stalinist era of communism, because men may want to reconsider the value of equality among them by some time the economy will have receded in their sight. What Animal Farm tells us then is that too eagerly willing for it leaves wide opens the gates to dictatorship.Orwell's fairy story bears a deep allegory as long as "from pig to man it will be impossible to say which is which". Thereafter it may really becomes a childish view of the Russian's revolution betrayal. But if old Benjamin was right that nothing changes in the long life of a donkey, it will stay a political perennial classic of vital interest for nations.
