"Some are just more equal then others." 

What a great criticism of systems of power.

Really loved it! I got attached to the characters really quickly. Didn't rate it higher because it isn't my cup of tea in terms of themes and genre but I would read again, especially since it was so short and manageable!

A dark short tale about the animal revolution. While on the verge of death one pig, explains the problem with the animal society. 

Upon his death, the animals decide No More! They take action against the human that has kept them fed for so. 

Come along on this journey. Will the animals learn they had it good? Will they destroy their new Society? Decisions need to be made, but who made the Pig dictator?
