I picked up George Orwell's Animal Farm feeling rather sceptical about reading it, I prefer to read more modern books and I'm not really a fan of George Orwell. However I thoughly enjoyed this book. "Animal Farm" was chosen by Time Magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels. This is a prize that I think it really does ...

i would say this book is for early teens and onwards is a great read presenting hitler and stalin when they were in power with animals on a farm. Very out of the ordinary but absolutely brilliant. I couldnt put the book down (but obviously i did eventually) It is a great book because it is very clever and shows hitler and stalin for who ...

...it was with these words, in February 1944, that George Orwell himself described the release of his latest book, a more belittling statement could not have been chosen to describe what was to become a stalwart of English political literature and the bane of students to this day. To quote from the author, “There is a farm, and the animals get fed ...

The first time I read this book was when I was at school. I could remember that I enjoyed this book but not much else ... not even the ending. So when one of my friends mentioned that he had listened to the audio book of it recently, I thought it was a good time to read it again. Details: Title: Animal Farm (Originally called ...

George Orwell, great political write. In this book he captures the communist regime and how it works........ By using a farm and farm animals. A cruel farm owner uses his animals for his own purposes to make lots of money and never gives the animals any credit. Soon, the animals get sick of this and plan a revolt. The animals revolt and ...

The Russian revolution was a subject that has been mysteriously entwined in the being of Animal Farm the novel. Although it is not certain that the allegory of the Russian Revolution was the main stimulus for the writing of the novel it is clear that through the imagery used by George Orwell, Animal Farm represents more to us that just simple ...

This excellent short story, deserves more credit than it's given. The general storyline is of the rebellion of pigs in a farm to their dream of what freedom is. Sadly the animals are eventually led by a mean and saistic pig named Napolean, and he gradually leads them into worse, and worse conditions. The book is inspired by ...

What makes this book unique is the way in which it portrays the Russian revolution in an entertaining fashion. This book is basically a fictional story based on the Russian Revolution, in which the humans are replaced by animals. It delivers harsh lessons on communism and what happens when one gives his livlihood to the greater ...

Animal Farm is one of the most widely read and known novels by George Orwell. It is studied by many, much to their dismay, as a text for English exams, or as an aid to the teaching of Russian history. It is a brilliant novel, which can be appreciated on many levels and by a variety of people. The Story… Animal Farm is ...

I first read animal farm when I was 14 years old as it was a GCSE text and I remeber it being a little too much for me to inderstand fully at that age. Maybe it is that adolescents aren't as intellectually advanced up here in the north but I remember that everyone initially read this quite naively as a fairytale and wondered why we were ...

Animal farm, by George Orwell, yes, we have all heard about it, if not even read it or seen the film. Or, if you have to study the Russian Revolution in College and have a teacher that love Russia; done them both. I won't use a lots of time talking about what the book is about, as we all know it is a story about the animal of the ...

How boring are history books?? I mean really - who can be bothered with all that tedious chronicle stuff that describes every boring detail of an historical event! No, give me a good childrens fantasy book any day of the week, 'Harry Potter' or the 'Chronicles of Narnia' get my vote over history hands-down. But ...

I read this book when I was at secondary school, and although I didn’t think I would, I really enjoyed it. At first the story struck me as a little odd, (it’s about talking animals after all!) but as I got more involved with the plot and the characters, I realised that it was in fact an ingenious portrayal of the Russian Revolution. ...

This book has rightly deserved the reputation of a classic. George Orwell has taken one of the most painful chapters of modern world history ( that of Russia from the revolution onwards ) and turned it into a short novel which reads more like a children’s story. A friend of mine who knows practically nothing of the political ...

Since its publication in 1946, George Orwell's fable of a workers' revolution gone wrong has been recognized as a classic of modern political satire. Fuelled by Orwell's intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing--both an engaging story and an allegory that actually works. When the ...

Animal Farm is without a doubt the best satirical novel of all time. It combines a gripping storyline, which is simple to follow, with an honest but informative view of the Communist regime that existed in Russia and, to an extent, in Germany. While reading this book you have to put yourself in the year it was published, 1945. The war still raging ...
