Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - Animal Farm

I know.. I could give it more stars, but for me something in the beginning was missing.

Don't get me wrong, it's a super interesting and chilling story, but I still stand by my opinion that these kinds of stories just make me feel discouraged or rather lose my interest at some point.

Despite that, UGH these PIGS, I swear to god. Boxer, Clover and Benjamin were the only ones I took an actual liking to. I will never forgive them for what they did to Boxer.. Also, the way the power change played out and no one could do anything about it? The delivery really did it for me.

Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments.

It's sad and seriously, the manipulation and unfair favor towards pigs, especially Napoleon, is unbearable.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Like all of Orwell's books, it's dark and tense. Definitely not the book to read if you're looking for a feels good. It's definitely a classic for a reason and an easier read than 1984. Short and face paced but gets right to the point and is easy to understand. It will definitely leave you frustrated and feeling sad/angry as is the point. Might have to make sure you are in the right mindset when reading it but it is definitely one everyone should read at least once.

"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!
