It's worth a look and still holds up in relevance. The writing is good, it's enjoyable and interesting to read. You are left with things to think about.

 This was such a great read! It's one of those books that might not capture your attention in the moment, as it isn’t the most exciting, but when you look back, you can't help but love it and have no regrets. The final chapter, in particular, left me incredibly impressed.

Assolutamente meraviglioso. 
Sto cercando di recuperare tutti quei classici politici che, credo che tutti almeno una volta nella vita dovremmo leggere. 
Crudo e diretto, ti fa riflettere sulle realtà dittatoriali e come esse, spesso, nascano anche da buoni pretesti.

Animal Farm contains very similar themes to 1984, but is a less hefty (and in my opinion more enjoyable) read. It is of course a very clever critique of communist Russia, but could also be applied to many global situations today. Overall a very enthralling read that is simultaneously amazing in terms of quality, and infuriating in terms of plot.

Very important book for so many people to read. It was a reflection of the political system George Orwell experienced post Spanish War and yet it still to this day reflects the current political state of a lot of places currently (cough cough america)

Especially in today’s world, Animal Farm makes the power of propaganda, the impact of denying education, and the extent of greed for supremacy even more apparent, showing what can happen when things are taken too far. A story that truly makes you think.

“But still, neither pigs nor dogs produced any food by their own labour; and there were very many of them, and their appetites were always good.“

Studied this in Y8, I LOVED IT, such a good book, especially to analyse.
It demonstrates real life political issues in a short but sweet story.

Bercerita tentang sebuah peternakan yang didalamnya binatang ternak melakukan pemberontakan kepada pemilik peternakan atas ketidakadilan yang dialami hidup mereka, tetapi ada saja hewan yang rakus, disaat itula kehancuran terjadi.

Orwell membungkus cerita ini dengan sangat apik, sebuah realitas pemerintahan ketika dipimpin oleh pemimpin yang diktator, sistem yang tidak adil, dikemas dalam cerita fiksi berlatar belakang peternakan yang tokohnya adalah binatang. Bagaimana para babi begitu liciknya mengumandangkan pemberontakan, kesetaraan, kebebasan padahal mereka juga yang meng obrak abrik untuk kesenangan dan keuntungan mereka semua Dan taklupa terdapat para penjilat.

Animal farm dari penerbit shira media terjemahannya bagus, mudah dipahami tidak berbelit-belit, dan covernya juga sangat eyecatching
