Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Set in the 24th century, Fahrenheit 451 tells the story of Guy Montag. At first, Montag takes pleasure in his profession as a fireman, burning illegally owned books and the homes of their owners. However, Montag soon begins to question the value of his profession and, in turn, his life.

3/10 I'm not sure if I can even say I read this book. I read half of it, and used Sparknotes for the rest (we read this for language arts too). It was really confusing and hard to understand. Oh well...I suppose the theme was okay.

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Animal Farm is a book representing the Soviet Union and Communism. It begins on a farm where a bunch of mistreated animals and an irresponsible farmer, Mr. Jones, live. Soon, the animals rebel against Mr. Jones, taking over the farm. At first, everything was great. All of the animals were equal, not being ruled by anyone else. They worked on the farm and made commandments. But soon, Napoleon, one of the pigs on the farm, takes over, turning the farm into a dictatorship rather than a democracy. 

7/10 We read this for language arts class, and I actually really liked it. The only thing that disappointed me was the ending, which was really kinda creepy. Not the kinda of book I'd usually read, but it was still pretty good.
