A classic read offering a different perspective on modern issues of class & capitalism despite being published in 1945, a bit of a difficult book but is a must-read lovers of modern-society criticism, classics, or just people searching for an alternative viewpoint. Very short (~100 pages) and very fast paced. It did make me cry when

Boxer (the horse) gets turned into glue

but that's only because I'm vegetarian and an emotional wreck. You really get invested in the characters, including the ones you love and ones you despite.

I highly recommend, everybody should read this at least once. <3

They're all animals so any animal cruelty/death can really be counted as regular cruelty/death.

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
