if i didn’t have to read it for school it may have been more enjoyable but i did enjoy it being an allegory because it was an easier way to understand and learn about a challenging topic but the movie my teacher put on was awful it was just oinking and animal noises the whole time

5.0

This book will remain forever one of my favorite classics, with a most impactful ending and overall plotline. It's amazing, and criticizes society and the war parties in a way I'd never seen before. 

It is made simple, and through the use of animals instead of people it becomes easier for children to judge the animals' actions too. The writing is remarkable.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
