For those interested in political regimes or the whole history of how politics came to be, this would be a great read. It is not short but it is very easy to grasp. The book begins from ancient Greece and continues till all the different branches of capitalism. Each political system is explained systematically. Along the way one would also learn a lot of history. It's amazing - never thought you could tell the history of politics in an easy-to-understand and elegant way.

If you like graphic novels, I recommend Maus. It is a story about the holocaust. A father tells his son what happened with a lot of details. The thing that makes this holocaust story special is that all the Jews are represented as mice and all the Nazis - cats. The Polish peopls are represented as pigs and the Americans as dogs. I really like the drawings, they are well made and perfectly show emotion. If you studied Night in 9th grade and want it like a graphic novel, then I recommend that you read it. Read it in one go, it will take you less than two hours. -Alex

Are you interested in the Holocaust? Are you bored of heavy books that talk about WWII? Then Maus is the book for you. It's not just a book - it's a graphic novel that tells the story of hte Jews during WWII in an unusual way. Watch the Nazis and Jews play like a cat and a mouse. Who's going to win? -Vesco

D-Day is a non-fiction historical book on one of the most important days in the history of the modern world. It talks about all the preparations and people behind the actualization of this operation, code named "Overload." The opening of a second front is a key turning point in WWII. If you have read any of Ambrose's other books, such as Citizen Soldiers, this book is the one you're looking for. It is very long and complex but is ideal for people extremely interested in 20th century history and World War II.

The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is similar to 1984 by the same author. The topics about communism and a utopic world are pretty common in his works.

In Animal Farm, the heads are presented as pigs and all other animals are under their reign. They create their own laws, like the Ten Commandments. Their enemy #1 is man. As time passes, there are some big changes occuring within the yard...

I'd like to recommend the book to people who like 1984 and who'd like to see what our life might be like if we were animals...
