Uhh... submitted by xjasx on June 17, 2012, 11:20pm Uhh good book. Based off the Russian Revolution. The movie was kind of creepy though.

Wonderful submitted by Motomori on June 22, 2013, 1:53pm Wonderful book. I liked the talking animals

How Ironic submitted by Solonamchin on June 13, 2015, 11:10am Animal Farm was written during 1940s and look at North Korea right now.
Its so same..

Classic submitted by cwb5463 on June 29, 2016, 8:18pm A classic school book but meaningful and overall entertaining.

Good submitted by dd8 on August 16, 2018, 3:18pm A perfect book. People will still be reading this in a thousand years time, when communism is just a footnote.

Disturbingly still relevant submitted by lstorc on August 28, 2018, 2:11am This is a disturbingly accurate portrayal of how humans treat humans heard different than themselves to the extreme. It accurately portrays dictatorships.

Decent submitted by jcnnifer on August 15, 2019, 10:28pm Interesting personification of animals into a tough topic to grasp - communism. Was kind of hard to read, just because the English was old but still a very interesting topic.

A premonition of controlling people submitted by ccrose on August 31, 2019, 10:33pm Animals instead of people but they make the same decisions as our government makes now, to designate who gets more and who gets less and why

Great submitted by palanijr on June 12, 2020, 11:08am Its story is still relevant today. Great book. Very interesting.

Animal Farm submitted by Jawadb on June 29, 2020, 7:30pm Good book

Allegory at its finest submitted by gf94 on June 18, 2022, 4:15pm A “school classic” that is good for any reader. Relevant at any time.

A wonderful way of showing allegory submitted by Knight1012 on June 19, 2022, 12:23pm In this book, the animals represent world war leaders that are fighting against each other for resources and land. I would recommend this book to anyone who has learned about WW1 and 2 since the book will make more sense and understanding it would be easier. In conclusion, this is a decent book, the plot isn't too heavy, but it has a good storyline.

Masterpiece submitted by srygl1sl on July 22, 2022, 11:02am This book is a masterpiece and incredibly relevant many decades after it was written.

Beware of the pigs in this world.

great read for all ages submitted by graytabby on August 4, 2022, 12:01pm i love this book so much, partly because it is so relevant today. it holds so many important ideas that all americans should be aware of, no matter their age. it speaks volumes about the value of power in the right and wrong hands. it's sad that our society is still like this so many years after orwell wrote this.

Animal Farm; 1984 submitted by SBNB on August 18, 2022, 3:45pm Both books are good, and both are thought-provoking. Definitely recommended for middle schoolers to adult.

Really Interesting! submitted by steeny17 on June 9, 2023, 11:55pm I wasn't expecting to like Animal Farm (1984 was a bit too dark for me), but it was really good. A combination of faerie story and heartbreaking history, this classic novel captures the founding of the USSR with compassion and honesty. Makes me want to reread my Soviet history books!
