       Animal farm is good.  I wouldn't say that it is a fantastic peace of art, but it is good.  The writing style is consistent and simple.  This makes it easy and enjoyable to read.  However the straightforwardness makes the book less complex than most good books should be.  But this book is an allegory and it does its job very well.  It riles up emotions and has a good ending.  This is a classic and a good one.

       This is an ok book. Interesting. I also completely agree with Richard's review. I don't know why 1984 is so great when this book gets the same type of message across only in a much more tolerable way.

       Ever since reading this book in junior high school, it has been a personal favorite. Enough so that later as a teacher it became one of my go to books to have my students read. One of the all time great last lines.

       I am not sure why 1984 is so popular, Obviously I think it is a great book, but animal farm is able to get many of the same points across with much more effect, and in only 120 pages, an for that its a much greater achievment .

Animal Farm by George Orwell was reviewed by Richard

       For what is essentially a short story of little more than 100 pages, this is truly a giant achievement in English literature. It is a dream of a book that has often been mistaken for a children's story by those of little perception who were unable to understand that it is in fact a powerful alegory concerning how power eventually corrupts the most noble intentions of man. It was an honour to read it.

       Animal Farm is a clever piece of unbridled originality. Unlike anything I've read before Orwell's story centers around animals who take over a farm after brutal mistreatment and erect their own form of rule. The story mirrors The Russian Revolution and subsequent Communist takeover. The character of Napolean is designed after Stalin and his propganda is spread through out the farm. After disavowing any human characteristics Napolean begins to walk upright in the end and the other animals couldn't tell the difference between pig and man. Orwell had a keen social mind and used his art of storytelling to comment on the positive and negative effects of socialism. The book is lean and told in an easy fable style of storytelling that could be read at a young age but would be much better understood as an adult. i highly recommend this novel and I would give it a 9 out of 10.

       Animal Farm is a nicely written book which one can read end to end. Through this book, the author gives the anology of humans though the actions of animals.
