A review by theelliad
Animal Farm by George Orwell

4.5

Having now re-read both recently I can safely say that I much prefer this to 1984, the psychological degradation is much more prominent and no time is wasted on pointless sub-plots! This is genuinely a powerful and engaging short novel and would have been easily 5 stars if I didn’t fundamentally dislike Orwell’s writing style! Definitely a strong text though and I almost wish I had got to study this one at some point!
