5.0 out of 5 stars
Exellent!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Animal Farm (MAXNotes Literature Guides) (Paperback)
I am in eighth grade and we just read this book. It is very good, and I enjoy how it depicts the Russian Revolution. It is neat how each of the animals represents a real character from history. It is a wonderful way to put the concept of the Russian Revolution into perspective and make it easy to understand, far better than reading a history book could. The person who said "not a great choice" must have not understood the book correctly, or perhaps the concept was beyond her understanding, because only then could I see how one could not enjoy it. Definatly, if you read this book, you should wait until and LEAST eighth grade, preferably tenth, or you probably wont enjoy it. I read it in sixth grade and hated it, and then again in eighth grade and thought that it was exellent!

From the Author...,
By Joseph E. Scalia "Author 'FREAKs,' 'Pearl,' '... (Long Island, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Animal Farm (MAXNotes Literature Guides) (Paperback)
Many of the reviews posted here are about the merits of Orwell's book "Animal Farm," not about the review book I wrote. Love "Animal Farm" or hate, as you will. The purpose of this review book is to point out for those who read Orwell's book, the history he used in creating his political allegory, and to make connections that go beyond talking animals taking over a farm! And as review books go, I think this one is a good one!
5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent work of literature.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Animal Farm (MAXNotes Literature Guides) (Paperback)
A great look at the Russian revolution.The book about revolution and the following results are expressed perfectly in this allegory about simple-minded animals on a small farm. It is an excellent look at Communism and one of few books I ever enjoyed reading in school (I read it last year in tenth grade).
