Animal Farm

Author:
George Orwell

Published:
1946

Summary

This story is about two pigs(Snowball and Napoleon), who lead a revolution on a farm against the farmer. Once the animals have control of the farm they begin to struggle with how things should be run. Eventually someone is run out and blamed for all the problems. This little farm is about to be very different. This book mimics the struggle for power between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin.

Review

The first time I heard the title, I didn't know whether the book would be good or not. But, you can't judge a book by its title. This is trully a fantastic and thrilling book! The link between this book and the formations and struggles within the Soviet Union is remarkable. When you read the book more times it starts to get more and more exciting and you start to understand the meanings more. Orwell uses characters that are so perfect and make matches for young adults and adults to understand better. One of the big things I wish, however, is that the beggining introduction before the revolution was explained more. But, that was the one minor problem I saw, for I never wanted to put this great and interesting book down.
