❝ Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself. ❞
Isn’t it ironic how I didn’t feel surprised because the topic in this book is still relevant and pertinent to today’s matters in so many ways? Well, it somehow scares me, not going to lie. Even still, the writing style in this book is something that I adore, because of how in the world, real issues like this or whatever you call it can stay it still leaves traces of faery myths even though decades have passed— Providing a more accessible means of comprehending communism, its principles, and the reasons behind its downfall, without requiring one to study its past. Yes, the writing and the entire characters are so thoughtful and reflective. It is unquestionably a must-read for everyone, and this book is well worth your time whether you read it quickly or analyse it in depth.

with it being only 139 pages, I expected it to be really difficult to understand without external aids, but this was captivating and easy to read and understand, which I appreciate. it's very scary how easily things went downhill from where it began and I hope people get the correct messages from this story.

a short but reflective read that mimics the russian revolution through a collective group of farm animals. i wish i had read this book back when it was required for some high schools, as mine did not study this book, but having read it now still has left an impact on me. i think this is something that everyone should read at one point in their lives. 5/5 stars
