Now more than ever, should this book be in the hands of every single American. While George Orwell wrote this book as a commentary on the harms of the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism in the 1940s, everything hits home today. The similarities are strikingly familiar.
From power corruption, to blind disobedience, to erasure of history, the government of Animal Farm eventually becomes indistinguishable from that of the humans to that of the pigs. Fascism is just as relevant today as it was during World War II.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”. Animal Farm isn’t just about animals, it’s a warning about how ideas and dreams of a better future can become twisted and turned into a dangerous reign of deceit and corruption of power.

As a 'classic' I felt a responsibility to read this and rate this a 4/5, but I just didn't enjoy it. It's well written, and undoubtedly clever. However it's also a punishing dreary tale which is unrelenting in its misery and reminders of the inequality and hopelessness of life! I just don't need it, but some might!
