5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book, December 17, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: George Orwell's Animal Farm (Bloom's Reviews : Comprehensive Research & Study Guides) (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book was very interesting and enjoyable, December 21, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: George Orwell's Animal Farm (Bloom's Reviews : Comprehensive Research & Study Guides) (Paperback)
My name is Nicole. I read the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. I thought that it was a very good book. It taught me a lot about Communism and the way people are treated under Communism. I liked how the author turned the idea of Communism into a book about animals on a farm. That gave me a better idea of what Communism is all about. My favorite part was when the animals started to realize what was going on. They started to see that they weren't equal at all. In conclusion, I thought that this was a very good book.

By A Customer
This review is from: George Orwell's Animal Farm (Bloom's Reviews : Comprehensive Research & Study Guides) (Paperback)
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

4.0 out of 5 stars good, but probably could be better
The author equates Old Major with Marx, Napoleon with Stalin, and Snowball with Trotsky. That's interesting, but isn't there more to say about Animal Farm?
