super good, would recommend to anyone who wants a good but short read. the last line is a banger plus the the good to evil transition of the characters are so subtle you dont notice it until the end. wouldve given it a 5 star, but some dude called me a “smart cookie” for reading it so its .25 off for that

This was a very interesting read. It's a short read, packed with powerful events, moments and sayings, that had me shaking my head at one point, ping away a tear at another and sheer at yet another moment. This allegory is so powerful and brilliant and I advise everyone to give this one a try!

George Orwell's Animal Farm is a politically significant satirical allegory criticizing communism and the Russian Revolution through figures analogous to anthropomorphic animals. Ignorance, compliancy, and pessimism are faults that marshal the
totalitarian propaganda and circuit of tyranny to Napoleon's autocracy.
As the plot progresses, the scapegoating and exploitation under the bureaucracy of Animal Farm becomes infuriatingly ludicrous and eye-opening to civilian circumstances, resulting in a horrifically bona fide perspective on the political ideology. Overall, the book provides straightforward innovative allusions that are devastatingly accurate to the manipulation and downfall of idyllic objectives in an oppressed population.
