Summary: Animals Are Malnourished -- a review by Olivia, age 9
Comment: Mr. Jones' farm, the Manor Farm, is a pity. His animals are malnourished and always sick, and he doesn't much care. After they die he just cooks them and eats them. Jones is always slobbering drunk. In the beginning of the story Old Major is the leader of all the animals. He is a great leader until his death one night. All the animals are shocked and they need a new leader. The pigs are the smartest animals, so they are always leaders. At first Snowball is the leader, but then Napoleon comes in and he wants to be leader. All the animals go up against humans and kill Jones' men. When Napoleon decides to trade with humans he doesn't tell any other animals because it's against the rule, "Whatever goes on two legs is an enemy."
Animal Farm is very interesting because the animals all have different points of view, such as when the hens must lay eggs for Napoleon. He wants to trade with the humans, but the hens think it's bad for their health because they have to lay about 30 a week. I like Boxer the best because he has a good attitude and he always works the hardest. Boxer always looks at the positive side of things. I was very enthusiastic about the book, and when I shared it with friends I got them interested in reading it.

Summary: This was a very intriguing and very well written book!
Comment: Animal Farm was well written and very expressive of the author's feelings about communism and the Russian revolution. I liked this allegory because it was very discriptive and oppinionated. I also like its pace. It keeps at a faster pace which is a challenge I enjoy. I read this book in one night and could not put it down until I was finished (at 2 o'clock in the morning). I also liked how George Orwell used animals as symbols, like Boxer the horse, aka. common hard working man. Also I thought it interesting that he chose pigs to represent the smart and leader types. I thought it was probably because pigs and men look the same in a way, or at least look like the stereotypical bussiness/farming man. The book was also thought provoking, especially the title. When you pick it up and read : 'Animal Farm: A Fairy Story' you would think it would be a book you could read children to sleep with, but once you read it you realize the political content. I would recomend this book to anyone and everyone who could get their hands on it, except children under 11. Unless the kid is above average and knows of the events in Russia, I recomend that they wait until they are able to comprehend the meaning before trying to read this novel. I loved the book and its creative style. I definitely give this book the best rating, meaning it's the best book I've ever read.
Rating: 3
Summary: Good book...
Comment: Good book. I was able to keep attention and even though Im in 11th grade, it still kept me reading and wanting to know more. I liked the ending and I thought it was overall a good book.
