Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK Review: This was my all time favorite book. Although some I know who have read it found it frightening, I found it to be rather satirical and amusing. I encourage any person fascinated in the Bolshevik Revolution to read this book. It is so funny how these animals seek a Communist Utopian type society. Great book!
Rating: Summary: An excellent book Review: a twisted look at communism through animals....very simple, but the metaphors are odd...very disturbing and frightening, but wonderful to read...I recommend "1984" by George Orwell if you enjoyed this book!
Rating: Summary: Don't trust nobody, not even your closest friend. Review: Animal is probably the greatest book I've ever read. The characters in the book are as cruel and evil as the people in our government. Many of the characters remind me of certain government figures in the U.S. This book gives a perfect example of what our government is like. If you understand this book, you will understand how our government was somewhat started. George Orwell get's eight thumbs up for creating a story for us that is so real in different ways. If you've never read Animal Farm by George Orwell, I very strongly suggest you do.
Rating: Summary: Animal Farm Review: I LOVE THIS BOOK! A child like fable about a farm, yet it still holds the power of politcal uprising.
Rating: Summary: Personally the best book that has since been written. Review: This book is my all time favorite book. There is nothing like it and there never will be. Geore Orwell knew what the future held and at a time where people kept to themselves and trully feared the goverment, George said all he could.
Rating: Summary: The book is good. Review: It about a farm animal that did like the farmer and out throw the farmer
Rating: Summary: An exceedingly rare literary masterpiece. Review: George Orwell's Animal Farm is a masterpiece. This parody of the world during the Cold War is very provocative. Orwell is a master of the written word and he subtlely points out the problems with society all through out this novel. This book might seem like a child's story, with talking animals and what have you, but it symbolizes something much greater. This book is truly a classic.
Rating: Summary: This book was easy to read, not realistic, but great! Review: This book was a good book on communism and dictatorship. It was very easy to understand. If you like farm animals and livestock--you would like this book! Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am 9. I am a champion speller. I love farm animals and books. My parents first told me about this book after I had dessert. It appeared to be a very catchy title. They told me that it was about pigs ruling a farm. So I decided to get the book. That was what the book was about. The battle of cowshed explained the war. The pigs appeared to be the communists. Snowball probably was a spy. He mixed the weed with the corn seed. To tell you the the truth, at first (before I learned the real synopsis) I thought this book would be about this agricultural book on a bunch of mad pigs. I enjoyed this book because it was SO EASY. I did NOT need ANY HELP to understand this book (I wish they had italics!). This book does have some simalarities to Watership Down (Also an easy book). Whoever is interested in communism, dictatorship etc. should read this book. Ecspecially Frank Gerald Prost. (I put his middle name because he LOVES what it means)! Synopsis: This book is about a bunch of animals who working to build a windmill. They change the name "Manor Farm" into "Animal Farm." This is like claiming new territory. After a while the other farms (George is trying to say "Forces.") like Red Lion and Pinchfield have war with Animal Farm (formerly "Manor Farm"). After a very long time, the sheep change the motto "Two legs good, Four legs better!" into "Four legs good, two legs better!" Then they practically turn into men!!!!!(in the Molly, OH! what's her name?! changed the seven commandments). Funny. Seven instead of ten. I recommend this book to people who like livestock, are smart, love war, read Watership Down and like revolting books! I posess all 5 of those. (I have a mini-chicken farm). I hope anyone who reads this book enjoys it. PLEASE.BUY IT!!! (I also have an Ant Farm). Come along comrades and have some fun by reading this book!!!!!! There SHOULD be a TENTH STAR for THIS book. Long-live Orwell's spirit!! No more communism! No more pigs. i hate those ugly, mean, nasty pigs, communism pigs! Here is a poem about communists: Communists are stinky They love to fart! Wait till you see my sousin Ted He'll beat you up until you're dead! No more communist pigs and people! We'll have to take them to the steeple! Where they can die. Horay people!

Rating: Summary: THIS BOOK WAS GOOD!!!! Review: I don't understand people who hate this book or don't understand it. I am only 12 and I understand what it is saying.In San Salvador they are having a similar problem and after reading this book I had a grudge against pigs (except Babe) and even through it was dark it was a wonderful book.
Rating: Summary: Made me think... Review: I read this book after reading 1984, and they are very different. I stayed up till 2am reading it as I wanted the ending, even though I knew the ending. I figured from the start it is a metaphore for Commumist Russia, and it helped me with my history work, even though I expected this to be a fun read. I would recommend anyone this book if they are confused about politics in general.
