Summary: The Contradiction: two legs bad, or better?
Review: I don't see any point in writing that it was an excellent book because it just is so. It was superb. When I got the book and I had to finish it in a week or so, I was gonna have heart attacks but later I saw that half of the book was actually the description of the book! Anyway, I'm sure I would have read and finished it in 2 days even if it were 600 pages. I think George Orwell did a great job in telling the tiniest details of the animal-people, and how some can get on well and some can't with the changes in the commandments, behaviors and reactions to the outer forces and to the cunning and cruel Napoleon the pig's tricks. The sheep saying "four legs good, two legs bad" and at the end this motto changing into "four legs good, to legs better", the change in the commandments such as the "to excess" addition to "no animal shall drink alcohol", and the 7 commandments changing into only 1. This is all great and true stuff. In our school, this was also put on stage and people who couldn't get the chance to read the book watched the play and they really loved it. "They looked at to the pigs and to the men... pigs to men... and they couldn't tell... which... was... which..."

Summary: MAKES STALIN LOOK LIKE A PIG
Review: First of all, anyone taking this book beyond its symbolic satirism is totally missing the message in the book. The book should only be difficult to read if you haven't passed the eighth grade: it's pretty short. This book is great in that it breaks the Russian communist system and its history down basically and very accurately. The book also goes to show that communism, though it may look good on paper, can not operate effectively in today's world.

Summary: Possibly the greatest,shortest book ever written.
Review: I just finished reading Animal Farm. the thing that amazed me the most was the fact that Orwell gave his thoughts and views in a little over a hundred pages.Beautifully written.
Rating: 
Summary: Politically great; Realistically no
Review: I found that reading Animal Farm was extremely boring. According to politics it was dead on, but the way Orwell chose to illistrate his views was obserd. Pigs climbing on ladders painting, animals talking, and; "all animals are equal, but some are more equal." That is just plain stupid. Please someone tell me how to be more equal if everyone is already equal.I would never ask anyone to read this book. 1984 is a much better work than Animal Farm.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: I had to read this book for school, and thought that it was very good. Although the animals might seem a little silly, when the book is taken in the context of an allegory to communism, it makes more sense. In my English class we had to actually study Russian history and then relate it to the text (i.e. Snowball represents Trotsky). It was very helpfull. Perhaps the animals seem exceedingly stupid because Orwell was trying to satirise communism and so felt it necessary to exagerate. I think most of the kids in my class liked this book.

Summary: Almost perfect fictional explaination (art copying life).
Review: This book gives indepth detail on how the idealism and injustice give way to a new hope only tho be dashed by those og impure qualities. The book is the one of the best explaniations to the collapse of the soviet union from the revolution to the counter-revolution to its final demise. Very well thought out. Highly recommended.

Summary: The Prelude to something even greater...
Review: Many people view this piece of work in light of Orwell's greatest triumph "Nineteen Eighty-Four". While lacking the depth of its successor, "Animal Farm" deserves to stand as a brilliant and insightful piece of fiction in its own right.Orwell pulls no punches when satarising the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution with clear symbolism that is obvious to anyone who has knowledge of that period. Orwell forces his damning opinions upon, without alarming the reader because of his unique prose. The best way to think of this book is to say that "Animal Farm" is the entree and "Nineteen Eighty-Four" is the main course, but still consider this novel in its own right. * Oh, and to any school children who think the animals were silly and unrealistic, they're SYMBOLIC, look it up sometime...
