This may just be me, but this was so intensely depressing that I couldn’t enjoy it. I know that’s the whole point of it, I guess, but to me it hit too close to home with the current political climate.

Re-read this novella after not finishing it the first time, short read and highly recommend. 

Spoilers from this point onwards:

People seem to forget that Snowball was not a perfect pig either, not to say that Napoleon was a saint obviously but Snowball didn’t say anything when the wind-fallen apples were added to their meals, and as the milk from the cows disappeared he didnt take up any issue with it. although he was far better than Napoleon he was still a pig.
