Honestly one of my favorite books of all time
It's dark and even though I know what's gonna happen I still get really into the reading
The ending is perfect as well

just how the pigs have slowly been becoming human and nothing had ever changed amoungst the various ways they manipulated everyone's memories and lack of ability to read etc

The story and writing made it quite dull at times, but that wasn't really the point of this story but instead to show the cons of communism, and to that point it did its job well. Even though at times I was bored, I would recommend people to read this one.

It is pretty clear from the beginning, due to the time this book was written and the storyline, that this book is a single metaphor thematisizing WW2, especially the russian side (communism, UDSSR). However I did really enjoy reading it and symphazising with some of the animals on the farm.
Of course you can never compare a classic like this to modern literature and I never will. I think classics should always be viewed and reviewed in context of the time they were written in.
And for the 1940s George Orwell did really create a lovely book adressing and discussing some struggles and problems faced during the time of WW2. Through which the readers are fronted with current problems in a beautiffuly written and tragic story about a small farm rebelling against the rest of the world.
