A classic read offering a different perspective on modern issues of class & capitalism despite being published in 1945, a bit of a difficult book but is a must-read lovers of modern-society criticism, classics, or just people searching for an alternative viewpoint. Very short (~100 pages) and very fast paced. It did make me cry when
Boxer (the horse) gets turned into glue
but that's only because I'm vegetarian and an emotional wreck. You really get invested in the characters, including the ones you love and ones you despite.

I highly recommend, everybody should read this at least once. <3
