This book is a chef kiss for your brain, to more eye opening about politic, and facism. The words within the book is easy to understand, it didn't contain a complicated words but it's even similar to a child story books. But! The story is not that light, but far from the lightness. In this book you will be gain more knowledge about the forbidden of politic worlds. It's worth it, i love the sarcasm about politics.

This book was amazing, and really fun to analyze. I loved all the different layers and lenses you could read it through. There were so many lines I wish I could underline (library book). It's cool to see what different things represent in the allegory for the Soviet Union, and how this applies to politics in general. It's also just a very interesting story in general.

Great read, a little challenging for me just because the raw representation of political oppression is so accurate, that it didn't excite me. It was as if I was reading an interesting history book, rather than symbolic fiction.

I also found it a great choice that the pigs turned out to be the worst of the animals, and the most resembling of humans, given that "pig" is also used to negatively describe policemen, another corps known for corrupted oppression.

Really glad that I finally read a full Orwell, excited to notice the ways it improved my literacy and linguistics!

i finished this in a 5 hour plane ride and could not put it down. the ending was excellently crafted but still managed to be a twist despite everything being laid out so openly

The different voices and personalities of the characters were performed well. I loved the singing. I can definitely see why this is banned or suggested for banning in some places.
