One of the best book I have read.
Animal Farm

Great dramatization of the very heavy idea that "Absolute power is likely to Corrupt Absolutely!"
I have read this book multiple times and would read it again because every time I read I gain new insights into human nature and the civilization/government game.
What’s more, the novel ends with a quote so true that it still gives me chills.
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which”.
I also recommend going through - http://study.com/academy/lesson/allegory-in-animal-farm-characters-examples.html to understand the Animal Farm analogies.

1984
I enjoyed my journey throughout the book, it was full of mixed feeling with a common thread of Depression.
The best part of this book is THE GOVERNMENT ! 'he who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past'.

We are all living in 'depression' This book gives new meaning to Depression. Though I know there is a ray of hope somewhere :)

Overall Orwell's fantasy is all too realistic. It fails both as fantasy and prophesy.

Must read books ! Highly recommended to all my reader friends.
