Este libro lo leí en formato audio libro y fue la cosa más maravillosa que he escuchado. Cada personaje tenía su propia voz, la historia tenía ambientación y todo era muy realista.
Tenemos una historia que nos hace reflexionar sobre el trato que hoy en día la sociedad le brinda a los animales y que nos envuelve en una historia súper adictiva.
Definitivamente recomiendo este libro y si tienes la oportunidad de escucharlo en audio libro mejor.

I loved this book, both as a look at Communism and as a funny book with talking animals. I was either thinking of how this mirrors real life, of how much this book reminded me of the movie "Home On The Range".

I was blown away by this book. It has always been on my To-Read list since I love anything about dystopia and society analysis, and I knew how good this book was, but not that it was going to be this good. There's a reason why it's considered to be a classic!!
Of course, the book's satire against some historical figures is as clear as day, but still, I love how this book can still be applied to modern days. Right now in my country, we have a character that resembles Napoleon quite a bit, and it amused me at the same time that anguished me parallels I could take from this book and the current situation in my country. It's amazing. It doesn't matter in what period, people mad with power never change.
I think this book is also extremely clever, the way it lays you everything you know can happen in the first few pages, and it still shocks you showing you *how* it happens. Also, the characters in it, albeit they clearly represent certain types of people in our society, serve their purpose perfectly. I'll think about Boxer for a long time lol
If you haven't read this book yet and are interested in this kind of work, I can't recommend it enough. It's worth each second of your time! Now, I gotta look for a happier book to lift myself from the sadness this book left me with.

Solid 4.6/5!
Animal Farm is indeed a masterpiece - It was my first time reading a novel related to politics, and the whole tale, I can say I could actually see the current situation of many countries like George Orwell wrote in this novel.
The following points I could draw to make a crux of the novel:
Challenging the prevailing regime is equal to making himself silenced with surprising effectiveness.
Spreading false doctrine through any source is toxic to a democracy.
Freedom is a long struggle, and it shall remain with a consistent approach.
The value of freedom can be lost once we start praising it rather than maintaining it.
Being obedient is more important than being brave.
The essence of words should appear through their actions and their tone.
Law and order can be altered for the supreme leaders upon their choice.
Say wisely - it is easy to use your own words against you.
The harmony of a regime can be killed via jealousy and lust for power.
If they say something, don't just believe them with a shut-eye, but decode the sentences yourself to know the truth.
A must-read!
