I read the book twice its about a simple Farm but the Animals plan to rebel. But their leader dies and some new pigs lead them. Then they change the rules to fit their needs, and the farm goes to hell most animals die (or sent to the glue factory lol) and it goes on from there. Its one of my favorites...George Orwell should have made a sequal!
Was a great book about socialist Russia, and I loved every second of reading it. I really like most of George Orwell's books. Especially 1984. And this isn't a book to be made into a sequel
I know mabey a prequel of some sort I was gonna buy 1984 but I didnt have enough money! no not really it was to chalenging for one of my freind (he is 13)
This is really good and I also watched the movie after that. Animal Farm does fit in two subjects at once: Social Studies and English. Stalin is really like a pig!
Its a very interesting book, when we got it for english I was like "Wow! Talking Animals?" and I read it and it's awesome. I guess you shouldn't judge a book by its cover :) Da hell theres a movie? lol....that's cool. Is it a good movie?
I'm personally not a big fan of reading, but this book was awesome. George Orwell's way of communicating is so dramatic, yet so powerful. 1984 was also an awesome book by him.
So far what Ive read, its pretty interesting. I'm reading it in my English class and we're somewhere in chapter 7. Didnt know there was a movie but I'd like to see it
The characters were compelling, Napoleon is (insert inappropriate and insulting remark here) whilst Snowball was the visionary and fair one of the lot. The book mimics a lot from history in general in the way the dynamics and relationships between different factions work. Eish there was a bit more dialogue between characters, it would've made them more compelling and personal to the reader. But i get this was more of a political representation more then anything.
I haven't read the book yet. Funnily enough, it was never assigned to me during high school. Even though I know what's going to happen, I should still read it.... Eventually.
It's an amazing read. For once I'm happy that school gave me something like that. I need to read 1984, badly.
I think out of all of the books that they made me read in high school, Animal Farm was my favorite, mostly because of it's satire (because I love satire) and it's very realistic representation of Communism, which I view as only being able to work in a perfect system, and it looks good on paper. I see the inevitability that a leader, fair or totalitarian, will always rise on such occasion. I had always felt that the luckiest character in the book was Molly because of her leaving before anything bad could actually happen, and it really hit me hard when I found out what was going to happen to Boxer. It just proves how gullible the public could be, just like the sheep. Great, great book.
