Product Description
Having got rid of their human master, the animals of Manor Farm look forwards to a life of freedom and plenty. But as a clever, ruthless elite among them takes control, the additional animals find themselves hopelessly ensnared in the ancient ways. Orwell’s chilling tale of the treachery of idealism through tyranny and corruption, is as fresh and significant today as when it was first published in 1945.Amazon.com Review
Since its publication in 1946, George Orwell’s fable of a workers’ revolution gone incorrect has rivaled Hemingway’s The Ancient Man and the Sea as the Shortest Serious Novel It’s OK to Write a Book Report About. (The latter is three pages longer and less fun to read.) Fueled by Orwell’s intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging tale and an allegory that really works. When the exploited beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in Marxist zeal. Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity soars, and for one brief, glorious season, every belly is full. The animals’ Seven Commandment credo is painted in huge white letters on the barn. All animals are equal. No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Persons that go upon four legs or wings are friends and the two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon, but, the pigs, who have styled themselves leaders by virtue of their intelligence, give in to the temptations of privilege and power. “We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of the farm depend on us. Day and night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat persons apples.” While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commandments to excuse their violence and greed, the common animals are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Satire Animal Farm may be, but it’s a stony reader who remains unmoved when the stalwart workhorse, Boxer, having agreed his all to his comrades, is sold to the glue factory to buy booze for the pigs. Orwell’s view of Communism is bleak indeed, but agreed the history of the Russian people since 1917, his pessimism has an air of prophecy. –Joyce Thompson

Did Al Gore direct this? I was just you know, curious because the animals are talking and stuff and they even have like, this hierarchy of power and things don’t make sense like that. This is an anti goverment film but all I hear is Total arin ism which gets to be useful when instilled in the drinking water of places like Africa. Well we gave them animals to eat and they just turned them loose in fields and never fed them and they died. This book is co-written I reflect by Gore and Moore, but who knows I mean anymore you cannot figure out who is who, but I am Cathy and I escaped from Taurine and this is my review of Animal Farm. Oh, and even if you give a pig pickles it will still attack you if it is hungry!

I personally despised this book. I establish it thouroughly dull it’s tone was intolerqbly bleak and epressing–and poor Boxer! This book was such a bummer. I highly suggest AGAINST reading this book. I’m sure some people loved, but most of my English class and I disliked it. I’m sure the leader was a wonderful person, but this was just not a excellent book. Read something more pleased like, oh I don’t know, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. It’s amd brilliant read, and with the Holidays coming up, everyone wants to feel pleased.

Of all the things I have ever read! What a terrible and unrealistic tale. I mean, how can animals talk? I have a parrot that talks but not in perfect sentences. And besides the pigs run the show in this and if it really happened the cats would run things because everyone knows that cats are born leaders. Anyway, I wouldn’t reccomend this book to my worst enemy. I read this book to my nephew, Simon and he ongoing crying and now he is worried of pigs and horses because he says that they will rise up and set up a totalitarianist state and will rule over us. Ughhhh! It gives me a head ache.

When I was in 7th grade, I chose Animal Farm as a book to read from a reccomended reading list. This was a huge mistake. In the beginning of Animal Farm it is pleased. Animals overcome their master and they rule the farm. It eventually goes downhill from there. Pigs take over and eventually change the animal “commandments” that they animals had made after taking over humans. Pigs end up looking and acting the same as humans. The pigs abuse horses and additional helpless animals. This is one of the most depressing and disturbing books I have ever read. I establish absolutely no enjoyment or insight from this novel! Take my advice: If you plot to read this anytime soon, please burn it as soon as possible!

Its is so annoying to see liberals writing books in politics, and i dont care who they attack- Liberals despise everybody else. Stupid guy had to prompt his feelings and whine about Russia. Okay Russia was terrible, but this is just annoying. I didnt learn anything new, and even if i did i probably wouldnt care. A kid who reads this is going to be shocked at what he reads, no magic, just dull ancient crap.
