The evil of dictatorship in the East, and the push for a patriotic uniformity like the west. No tolerance for dissent.

I think it is a book written by an idealist who is probably anti social.The premise of the book is--creating a fantasy where animals take over the world.Politically speaking --Mowhawk is right.Only add that there is the naive idealogy of an animal activist who is tired of Humans & can only relate to animals! The book was never written in the form of childrens book--obviously well intended for adults--with a clandestine theme!


I think it's cute! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Laughing Laughing Laughing

The only bright spot in somalinet is the occasional mention of something potentially interesting. I searched an online link for the book and found one. Here it is for anyone who wants to read it:

http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/animalfarm/

I will read it inshallah in three days if i don't get too busy.

Mad Mac.

It better be good.

Never mind, I misunderstood your comment. I thought you gave a negative review of the book and wrote a sly reply to you accusing you sorts of things mistakenly. My bad.

Gama@loooool


How cute!! Rolling Eyes You appear at the same time as Hannah!! Wow what a miracle! loooool



Gama ---i didn't read your original comment-- unfortunately! loool Aaargghhh --why did i get away from desk!!! loooool


Anyway--since we are in the same chapter---we shall agree to disagree!



I did give the book a negative review--despite at the end i still think its cute.(in a disperaging, patronizing way by the way--get the drift- loool)


I know u defend it --because the book appeals to exactly your 'kind'!! (the idealists) loooooool


Oh mad mac included!! Laughing Laughing

Basra, I and you appeared at the same time as well, am I you then? As you sound normal , sweet and sexy, you just out of the blue become irrational and screw up the image I have of you that was bound to disappear any minute any time anyway Laughing I am always ready for the unpredictability but you just catch me off guard Laughing You just never cahnge even after a salubrious vacation. Okey, about me being an idealist, to some extent but I am practical. I shall read the book nonetheless.
