I genuinely don’t know how to review this. It’s a classic and social commentary on the Russian Revolution and the rise of communism in the 1940s. But also, I think it’s more of a social commentary on the greed of men. No matter how much people strive for equality, when someone gets a taste of power, they get a hunger that makes them become the enemy. Perhaps that’s a grim take on humanity, but I’m feeling grim lately 😬

I think it is wonderful that explores themes of oppression, power, censorship and tyranny.

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.

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.
