 It was a phenomenal book. Some might say it's a children's book - and I've heard George Orwell even said so himself - but it's simply stunning and very moving. The way everything develops and unfolds is just magnificent, and the conclusion of the story itself was outrageous and amazing. I highly, highly recommend this book to literally anyone and everyone, no matter the age. It's a very easy and quick read (I finished it in a day), which portrays a greater picture and has a greater story/moral outlining it; which some may find difficult to grasp at first. Especially if you're still too young to understand. But, my god, was it a fantastic read! And even if you don't get the greater picture at first, it's still a cute and fun, yet also sad story. Highly recommended.

Animal Farm is an allegory about farm animals that rise up and take over their farm. At first, the animals all work for themselves and to better their lives, but quickly things start to devolve.

I don't think I'd say this was an enjoyable story, but it is very interesting. It also has a good lesson and an anti-rich message. I also think it's fascinating how one can alter a story of a being after they have left like in the case of Snowball. Overall, this book is useful and can probably be a great teaching aid (though I don't remember what we did with it when I was in high school).
