Very challenging reading both Animal farm and 1984. They both touch topics like political oppression, dictatorship in a future (kind of realistic) world. Even though these both works are criticizing socialism and the Sovietic Union, I prefer to see it more as a criticism to the repetitive cycle we, humans part of a society, repeat every time we "look for" a change in the social order. So dark, I liked seeing a different point of view of our society and our behaviour as beings part of it.

About "Animal Farm": I was in shock after reading the last sentence of the book, not gonna lie. Amazing. Read it in one day.
About "1984": There is only one chapter that I find a bit boring, but I'm still gonna go back and read it again. Also, never felt more strong emotions (not gonna say which one, cause it may be a soft spoiler) while reading a book then after reading this. Specially the 3rd part. My heart stopped beating for some times there. Again, amazing last line.
