Title: Animal Farm
Author: George Orwell
My Rating (out of 5): 3.5
Why?: I was expecting more. I didn’t get the hype of the novel. It was a good story, but people claimed it as “Great American literature,” and I definitely didn’t get that.
Brief summary: The animals on Manor farm are fed up with the humans abusing them and they stage a rebellion. Once they succeed in driving the humans out of the farm, they are on top of the world. But, can they over come many challenges, including rule changes, a traitor, and a dictator? Read and find out.
Who I would recommend this book to: I would recommend this book to anyone who likes strong symbolism and like to decipher things.

Book Reviews
Welcome to Book Reviews by James. I will review practically all sorts of books. Please keep in mind that I may have a different opinion then some one else, and that you may not agree with what I have to say about a certain book. Remember, it is just an opinion and I am not a professional, just a book lover who has too much time on his hands. My reviews will look something like this:

Who I would recommend this book to:
I have also decided that I will allow other people to post their own book reviews. I will read through them all, and post them. I think this would be a nice way to get more book reviews out there. Now, other peoples book reviews DO NOT have to be in the same format as above. That is just how I choose to post mine.
So if you have any questions please leave a comment. Also, I like to make people happy so if you are contemplating reading a book and you want an opinion first, please make a comment asking me. If I have read it I will do a review, if not I will try to read it. Now, take into consideration that I have values and if I believe that the book would be inappropriate for me, based on my standards, I won’t. That’s it. For example, I do not read Carl Hiaasen’s adult books. I find them very crude. Also keep in mind that I probably won’t be able to read all the books in a day so just keep checking back.Since there is practically no way to have a book review everyday, I might review some good fan fiction, or a good site that reviews books, etc. So please enjoy!
