Animal Farm is an allegory about farm animals that rise up and take over their farm. At first, the animals all work for themselves and to better their lives, but quickly things start to devolve.

I don't think I'd say this was an enjoyable story, but it is very interesting. It also has a good lesson and an anti-rich message. I also think it's fascinating how one can alter a story of a being after they have left like in the case of Snowball. Overall, this book is useful and can probably be a great teaching aid (though I don't remember what we did with it when I was in high school).

CWs: Animal Death, Animal cruelty, violence, gaslighting, death, murder, slavery, classism, blood, gun violence, alcohol consumption, injury/injury detail, alcoholism, confinement, emotional abuse, gore, bullying. Moderate: War.
