sure! 
nothing incredibly special to say about this one but i had a pretty good time. i forgot my kindle one day and this was all that was available so i knocked it out in like two hours total.
was more into it than i thought i would be, it’s generally interesting and well written, so good for a classic (??) but nothing spectacular against books i enjoyed more

this was a really quick read and very fast paced but surprisingly dense. i was kinda disappointed because i thought it’d be more profound than it actually was but i read it in an hour so it’s very possible it just went over my head - i think i’ll probably enjoy this more on a reread with a little more context since i went into this pretty much blind. it’s really digestible so i’d definitely recommend this for anyone interested in reading classics but a little intimidated!

An incredible view into what happens when gaslighting meets censureship, ignorance, intolerance.

Of course, Orwell's Animal Farm is a commentary on Russian politics and practices during the 1940s, but they still apply to today's world. More-so, I'd say, in the age of the internet which gives access to nothing for those who cannot think critically and everything for those who can.
