[quote user="A Customer"]the book 'animal farm' was not very good. we read it in english, and the book is so boring i almost fell asleep reading it. george orwell must be old. i do not recommend this book to anyone.. try watching tv instead. but dont watch the movie, its worse than the book.[/quote]
[quote user="jedismart"]I personally hated this book. I found it thouroughly boring it's tone was intolerqbly bleak and epressing--and poor Boxer! This book was such a bummer. I highly suggest AGAINST reading this book. I'm sure some people enjoyed, but most of my English class and I disliked it. I'm sure the author was a wonderful person, but this was just not a good book. Read something happier like, oh I don't know, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It's amd excellent read, and with the Holidays coming up, everyone wants to feel happy.[/quote]
[quote user="A Customer"]I don't like the animal farm because I don't like animals. It is taking about animals and nothing eles. I hope that I will like animals someday, but not now. If I like animals I think I will read it again. I recommand for the kids like animal.[/quote]
More one-star reviews of Animal Farm here, though I think this one might be taking the piss deliberately:
[quote user="Claude Rutebega"]Of all the things I have ever read! What a terrible and unrealistic story. I mean, how can animals talk? I have a parrot that talks but not in complete sentences. And besides the pigs run the show in this and if it really happened the cats would run things because everyone knows that cats are born leaders. Anyway, I wouldn't reccomend this book to my worst enemy. I read this book to my nephew, Simon and he started crying and now he is afraid of pigs and horses because he says that they will rise up and establish a totalitarianist state and will rule over us. Ughhhh! It gives me a head ache.[/quote]
I suspect none of these people will be interested in this announcement that Orwell's diaries are going to be published as a blog, exactly 70 years after each entry was first written, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
