Product Description
At once an allegory for both utopia and totalitarianism, Animal Farm is a story that expresses a dismal view of humans and their attempts to create a just society without compassion, history, and nonviolence. Orwell's book is decidedly anti-utopian and yet an unforgettable morality tale that entertains as it teaches. This concise supplement to Orwell's Animal Farm helps students understand the overall structure of the work, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.

 Animal Farm
This book is wild! It is moooooooving. My daughter needed this book for her class. I had her read a chapter of the book, then read the cliff notes for the chapter. Hopefully this helped the book to sink in her head! Everything came in good condition.

good, but probably could be better ( pentatonika )
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?

 A give away ( babyprincess )
Although this book helped me comprhend the symbolism of Animal Farm, i often found that it gave away future parts of the book. For example, i would read the comentary of chapter three, and it would give away a critical event that comes on much later in the book. In addition, i did not think that it interpereted all the symbolism that Orwell used. My advise if you are going to read Animal Farm, is to try a different source of notes.

 Joel Mason TIGS HOMEWORK YR9 ENGLISH ( pokegoth )
I have read Animal Farm for a school text and I really was dissapointed by how poor the novel really was. Even though the story was partially based on the Russian revolution I believe the story was very basic and almost childish if you knew nothing about the historic points behind it.But even knowing the historics behind the novel it was boring to the last.To many parts of the story are just recollections of what happened during the revolution and it just reads like it was copied out of a text book and the caracters are added to get the kiddies reding it. The novel was very pradictable and reads like a primary school text. The characters take to many traits from humans and not enough traits from their own species. And another point I would like to add is, who is this story meant for, adults or children, because for me it is to childish for adults(with the use of animals and primary school wording) and to old for the children (the violenceand the actual theme of the story) Thankyou for reading.

Animal Farm
I read this as a school asignment and I did not enjoy it. I did not really understand the meaning of the book. I guess it aplied to the world a while ago but I can't aply it to life today. It was rather confusing for me.
