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.

Lots of adventure, that's just how I like my books. If you don't like adventure, fantasy then this probably isn't a book for you. But anyways, it shows friendship, and trusting your friends in hard situations. I hope you like this book as much as I did if you ever read it (I recommend you read the books before this in the series first).

Berta Berdette, who always felt like she's just a plain and unworthy compared to her younger sister, Glenna who was very outgoing and beautiful. This also had caused the girls' parents to treat them differently due to their personalities. But everything would change, deaths too plus also finding the suitors for both of the girls but delayed for Berta herself. This story is kind of depressing than of what I read of Janette Oke's other books but still I still do enjoy because it gives me the different outlook of how people live due to their past of growing up, their personalities differences but can still set the differences aside and learn and possibly love them for who they are. - Happy Reading!

Emily Evans, a young woman with the big commitment to God as she was called to become a minister at the small town.

She also have the big dreams that would possibly come true as she meets and makes new people and friends. With her delicate wellbeing, people around her often would worry over her, constantly telling her to take those things easy, stuff like that. She also met a young man, who would possibly be by her side, love her, and even help plus also teasing her for fun. - Happy Reading!

Ok, so, to clarify, the book is really more of a 3.5 than three. The reason being, the book has so much hype built around it, receiving accolades like "best dystopian read" on platforms like booktok. And as a lover of a good book, I couldn't wait to buy and read it. And while the reader really does feel like they are in Juliette's chaotic mind, at points it also seems it's trying too hard to be deep. Which may just sound like picky-ness, but after 338 pages, it can feel like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. However, the plot is fast-paced, and keeps the fire alive without letting it fizzle out, and the dystopian world creates a sense of danger that is hard to replicate. On the other hand, the main character, Juliette, is slightly selfish, which is another reason why the book wasn't all it was made up to be. But, overall, Tahereh Mafi did a commendable job emulating a world of grays where all hope seems to be lost, but here, we have Juliette. Ready to set this dark world ablaze with her game-changing ability.

Sarah Perry, a newly widowed woman who had lost her beloved husband while still have the small daughter, Rebecca, also sometimes known as Becky. Sarah's good friend, Mrs. Galvan who had willing to help Sarah out with little Rebecca while Sarah out working on her late husband's freight business of which she had insisted upon doing it without any hand of help but accepted few throughout while learning the new things. Mr. Murray, another of Sarah's close friend, a store clerk who had offered to hand some help with the business of which Sarah had clearly refused. Throughout the book, we can see that the little Rebecca was growing up and her mother had decided to send her little daughter away to the boarding school all the way East for nearly 9 years since Rebecca was only six years old now became a young woman at fourteen. But everything between Sarah and Rebecca had changed, even their appearances changed, and their relationship as a mother and daughter also changed as the two girls now barely ever knew each other. - Happy Reading!

Amelia Grafton, a girl who lived through the American Civil War of 1861-64. Like all of those other people, Amelia had to fight through to get additional information during the war against the North (Union) and the South (Confederate). Josh Dechart, one of Amelia's good friend who you will see more often among with other characters. Jinny Pearl Beale, a sweetheart for one of Amelia's brothers but not anymore, was also a woman soldier and spy, inspired from the Belle Boyd, another woman spy and a soldier. While reading this book, I can see that the Grafton have each other's backs, feelings about the war, different perspectives from each different character. - Happy Reading!

This book is really sad but sweet! But so far I'm only on page 15!

Patsy and Anne Henry, daughters of America's well known congressman, Patrick Henry. But much more behind Patrick Henry's fame and inspiration to the colonial America as another war is being fought at Henrys' home as the children's mother and Patrick's wife, Sarah got out of her mind as she started acting unlike herself. Family of Henrys are breaking apart as death, wars, and friends being lost are not new to them. This is actually amazing of how we think we just know about Patrick Henry but not a lot of about his family as we read through this type of stories and this left me having the new perspective about Patrick. - Happy Reading!

Nora has a big secret. The secret is that she's a genius! Nora learned to read in kindergarten, and could easily solve jigsaw puzzles when she was a baby! But Nora doesn't like people to make a big deal about her intelligence. So she tries not to show that she's a genius. When she takes the Connecticut Mastery Test, she purposely gets a few questions wrong so it'll seem like she's an average student. Another thing Nora dislikes is how her classmates make a big deal out of their test scores. Especially her friend Steven. So on 5 of the tests, she deliberately gets D's. When Nora's parents find out, they get angry and call the school. Then, Nora has to take an IQ test, and she accidentally reveals how smart she is. What will happen then? I like this book because it's exciting and also funny. I recommend this book to people who enjoy realistic fiction books.
