This is probably my favorite book out of the ones my English teacher had the class read! The oppression of all the farm animals by the land's owner leads to an abrupt rebellion against him--leaving the animals to independently operate the farm and offering them the opportunity to control more of their own lives. As time passes, however, there is continual threat to the ideals many of them strive to uphold, possibly within their own ranks. The progression of pristine nobility in thought to the tarnished executions of those notions (and even changes to the ideals themselves) may very well spell the regression of the animals' states to something they had strived to topple--benefitting the few but decimating the masses. What I truly appreciate about this novel is the parallel sequence of events to a period in world history, and specifically in Russia: the age of Stalin. It retells the terror of the animals and vileness of the new menaces in a captivating way (albeit with the twist of talking animals). While not a cozy novel, the allegorical nature of "Animal Farm" grabbed my attention; it is one of the very few works that have provoked such an outraged reaction, and as such is one of my favorite novels of all time. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a powerful and emotional (in an enraged sense) read--you may not like what happens in the chapters, but will be glad you read it when you finish.

This is a book about a little girl called Sara Crewe. She had servants, closets full of clothing, and a great dad. Her mom died when she was born, but she did not miss her, because she never saw her. Sara loved telling stories and she loved reading books. She was a pretty girl, with long lashes and eyes with a queer color. Her life was better than everyone else. One day, Sara's father told Sara to go to a boarding school for young ladies. She didn't like the place because it was dull and ugly on the inside, with a very ugly and strict teacher who only cared about wealth. Before the day of of leaving each other, Sara's father bought her a doll that Sara loved, who was called Emily. In the boarding school, everyone liked her, except some of the big girls that were popular before Sara came. She cared for a mother-less girl called Lottie and even made a friend called Ermengarde. I'm not going to tell you the rest, but you can read to find out! I recomend it for 7-13 year olds.

It was intresting

Warning! This review may contain spoilers. Call of the wild: A dog named Buck is kidnapped (or dognapped), and force to work as a sled dog. I didn't read White Fang. What I thought of it: Well, I don't like books about animals (I had to read this for homework). Mainly because the main animal character almost always gets mistreated and/or dies. Buck was definitely mistreated and I hated that. I absolutely can't stand animal cruelty or when animals die. When I'm reading a book and there's an animal and a human, I'd rather the human die than the animal. Buck, thankfully, didn't die. But everyone else did. Almost every single animal and human that appeared in the book died. I mean Curly got ripped apart 10 minutes into the book. I guess I get the purpose of it, but I still didn't like it. That was my main problem with this book. It was pretty well written, though. I liked how even though the dogs didn't talk, you still knew what they were thinking. I liked the way Buck grew as a character. In a lot of books, you just kind of suppose the main character changed over the course of the book, but it's not that obvious. In this book, it was obvious. There was a huge difference between Buck when he was first introduce and Buck when the book ended. He really changed a lot, yet he kept some of his character traits. I really liked that. Overall, I appreciated this book, but I didn't like it.

This is a wonderful book. It is about four sisters: the March sisters. Meg; the eldest and the prettiest, Jo; the tomboyish, author, Beth; the sweet, shy one, and Amy; the youngest and most self conscious artist. They and their wise mother have to face the brave of the war going on, with the hanging feeling that their soldier father might not come home. While so, they meet a young man named Laurie, who soon is like a part of the family. Later in the book, Laurie falls in love with Jo. Jo, however, does not feel the same way.When Laurie confesses, Jo breaks his heart. I for one, disagree with this. I feel Laurie and Jo would have made a lovely couple. Later on, Beth gets brushed with death once, but manages to survive. I was really sad when Beth died from scarlet fever, and I wish she didn't. When the girls grow up, each one goes to pursue their dreams except for Meg, who marries John Brooke, Laurie's old tutor. They have twins, and have a happy family. As for Amy, she heads off to Europe with grumpy old Aunt March to paint. While in Europe, she stumbles upon Laurie, who also tried to escape from home for a while to try to mend his heartbreak. Honestly, I think Laurie was being a little creepy. But of course, Amy and Laurie fall in love and get married. And for the last but best character, Jo, she escaped to New York City to study, and writes a book. While there, she falls in love with a college professor, and they later get married. It was a very good story. I recommend it to anyone looking for a relatable historical fiction with excellent vocabulary.

i like this book because they gave john a lesson; always listen to your parents. my favorite part was when john turn her mother into a big chocolate and then went with the store keeper that was my favorite part. I remember because I finish reading it just today a will recommend you to read it once you read a chapter you want to keep going! I read 3 chapters ahead in my school it was so interesting actually it was long because it had 12 chapters put in the end a was like what because i think there's a 2 book because at the end it only said "sold," that's what I think.

The book talks about the introduction of the main character, Eddie. Eddie was an 83-year-old retired soldier who worked for Ruby Pier. Following the accident, Eddie was sent to heaven, where he would meet five different people. I enjoyed the beginning of this book because the author easily grabs the reader's attention. The book starts with a countdown to Eddie’s death, which made me want to find out everything that happened. From the book, there was nothing that I disliked because the book was written so well. While reading this book, the character's feelings made me feel as if I were right there with them. The author causes the reader to feel sadness and joy throughout each chapter. I recommend this book to people who are 10 years old or older . Because it has some sad parts, so the reader needs to have a strong heart. “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” is an excellent book to read.
