Animal Farm is definitely a classic for a reason. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one and finished it in a little less than three hours.

i read this for school. it's a pretty okay and entertaining read through, but i didn't care too much about it after. then again, i haven't lived through any totalitarian governments. i agree with the other reviews saying it's a bit on the nose.

I’m biased here since this was a book I studied in high school and then it was gifted to me by my dad. So. Biased. But I think it’s relevant once again, yes, it’s on the nose (snout, even), but I fear literacy levels have gone down so… maybe it’s good it’s on the nose😭
