I only have one thing to say..."All Animals Are Equal, But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others." ( )

(unabridged audiobook): I'm pretty sure I saw the animated film at some point in my youth, but the book is far better. Orwell is brilliant as usual. And it certainly didn't hurt that the reader was very engaging. ( )

I read the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. I read this book because Dr. Lawson had his class read it. It was very creative. It was also detailed.
Animal Farm was creative because animals on the farm were people related to history. For example there was this pig named Napolean. And obviously Napolean was a very important person in history.
The book was ok. It was about how animals overthrew human beings. At the beginning the animals made seven commandments and everyone was equal. There were wars and problems that they had to solve along with animals dying. But at the end the pigs were the higher power and they took away the commandments and they even lived in the farm house.

Animal Farm is one of those amazing books you read at an extremely young age and can not appreciate the beauty held between its pages. I first read it at 11 entertained only by the talking animals but as I got older and held it in my hands again I realized there was so much more to it.

Orwell uniquely displays the work of politics, beaurocrats, and business savvy people within a few acres (maybe even smaller) of a farm. These animals holding their own fort, focus their parties into sections of important leaders and dominating almost and close to an aristocratic rule.

They were held together by democracy but be honest, how long would that last with a pig leader named Napolean?

I recommend this amazing work to anybody, a fan of political power or just animals in general ! ( )

Animal farm - the perfect allegory for the events of Soviet Russia. A short book, it highlights the difference (or lack thereof) in living conditions pre- and post- communist rule, while portraying the horrifying effects that power can have on a once clear-minded promoter of utopian ideals. Ultimately, while the animals are too short-sighted (or lacking the necessary mental stamina) to see that things are the same as, or worse than before, the reader can see the parallels that are drawn thickly and vividly, and we are left feeling as if the nature of humankind (or pig-kind?) is tragically all too prone to corruption.
