This is maybe the first full book I've read in years, even if it is a short one at that with only 75ish pages. That being said, I think it might have helped with rekindling a love for reading
Animal Farm feels like a timeless novella, where despite being written nearly a century ago, many of it's teachings still hold true. It's very clearly an allegory to real life and doesn't hide away from this, and I think it serves as a great example of how quickly corruption can run wild without the proper checks and safeguards, alongwith with a general public that is uneducated, blind or apathetic around politics. Obviously deeply political, but easy enough to grasp and should be a required reading for everyone.
It's definitely one of those stories where you can predict what is going to happen next and desperately hope that it doesn't, only to be correct in your unfortunate guess.
