The revolution has succeeded. But what now? How do you move towards a “better society”?

Through this book, Orwell criticizes political maneuvers and totalitarian rule, using animals to explain what humans do. The author portrays the way a revolutions can go full circle — coming to the same point it started from. Just the face of power is changed.

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.

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.
