Re-read this novella after not finishing it the first time, short read and highly recommend. 

Spoilers from this point onwards:

People seem to forget that Snowball was not a perfect pig either, not to say that Napoleon was a saint obviously but Snowball didn’t say anything when the wind-fallen apples were added to their meals, and as the milk from the cows disappeared he didnt take up any issue with it. although he was far better than Napoleon he was still a pig.

I didn’t always love reading it, but I’m glad I read it because of all that it made me think about and its impact on culture. Truly an educational novella.
