It was an okay book. I had to read it for a class, but it did have me interested at some parts. Wish the ending was more exciting, but the ending makes sense for the story. Boxer deserved better.

A satirical novella written against Stalinist Russia that is known for its great use of allegory to convey its message. This classic is worth reading because its message is still relevant till this day, most of the characters in this book resembles someone in real life. This book is an excellent, disturbing and important read that can be finished in one sitting.

Um okay girl I guess. You really tried it tho. You'll never be Back at the Barnyard!

This book only works if you think the masses as a whole are stupid and inherently lazy and individualistic and people are inherently violent and evil. Yaaawn boring! Also Orwell never heard of show don't tell. It's no wonder this shit is read in every high school across the country. The devil may work hard but the CIA works harder.
