Book Reviews of Animal Farm and 1984
Book Review: A book you can't put down!
Summary: 5 Stars
Animal Farm is a very creative way to show the short comings, brainwashing, and absolute control of the Russian government and of communism in the 1st half of the 1900s. 1984 is a great story that especialy now is important because of todays government. It talks about a controlling english government that is removing people that think and have ideas contrary to what they wish them to be. They also use fear tactics in the media to get the people unquestioningly on thier side. This book, a MUST!Book Review: MUST READ FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY NOW!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS BOOK WAS MANDATORY READING WHEN I WAS IN JR. HIGH SCHOOL. WHEN I READ IT THEN I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS REAL SCIENCE FICTION AND COULD NEVER HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN THE UNITED STATES. WELL I AM NOW RE-READING IT AND SURPRISE, IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THE PARARELLS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHAT ORWELL WROTE IS COMING TO PASS. I AM ASTOUNDED THAT MR. ORWELL HAD SUCH INSITE INTO OUR FUTURE. VERY WELL WRITTEN, AND STILL A CLASSIC, MUST READ, ALL YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD READ THIS AS WELL.Book Review: Orwell Hardly Needs My Review
Summary: 5 Stars
You are reading a gaggle of reviews for this book, many of which ramble on and on, some going so far as to give you a complete tell-all description of the book, a few of which are utter nonsense. For a concise, intelligent review-- one that does not yammer on so much but does say more than the obvious-- read Christopher Hitchen's introduction. In other words, do yourself a favor and scroll to the top of this page then click on "Search inside this book." You won't be disappointed.Book Review: Some books are more equal than others
Summary: 5 Stars
Two classics of 20th and 21st century political thought. Animal Farm discusses the dangers of communism and totalitarian governments. 1984 is as relevant today as when it was first published over 50 years ago. I was born in 1984, and even though Big Brother and the Thought Police were not around then, we still might face big government intrusians in the future. As for this edition, two classics handsomely bound in hardcover for under $15, come on people, buy it already!!!Book Review: Animal Farm and 1984
Summary: 5 Stars
These titles are classics and speak for themselves and are excellent reads. It's content is as revealing and entertaining as the reader's maturity level. It makes more sense to me now than it did 25 years ago. The real value was that the book's actual quality of binding and dust jacket made the read very comfortable. This is a very nice edition especially getting the two great titles in one cover!
