Customer Reviews

Simply, the best book I've ever read

I've read Animal Farm 3 times and each time I read it I get something more out of it. My 7th grade teacher made my class read it to illustrate communism. It worked great and showed us how tempting communism is and how easily it can spread. No matter how old you are, I suggest you pick up a copy of this book and read it.

This is a very good political book.

I think Animal Farm is a very good book. I like how this book shows the good intentions and poor results of communism. Communism is described very well in this book. Mick, Grade 8

I really enjoyed this book.

Hello, my name is Megan. For an 8th grade English class, I had to read the book Animal Farm. I really enjoyed this book because of the background of Communism in it. I also enjoyed the whole story. This book represents all of the important people of Communism in it such as, in this book Marx is represented by a pig named Major, Lenin by a pig named Snowball, and Stalin by a pig called Napoleon. If you want to see who or what other animals are, go read this book!

A Great Book

An overall spectacular book about a group of rebellious animals who take over their farm from the humans. The book brilliantly satirizes the Russian revolution and is highly entertaining, while at the same time very educational. A must have for any book lover.

FANTASTIC!

I absolutely LOVED this booklet! The descriptions of the characters were complete yet concise. By the end of the book, I felt as if I actually knew the animals involved!
