Orwell Collection: Animal Farm & 1984 by George Orwell
4.0
Stephen Fry's narration is wonderful but I'd forgotten how bleak Orwell is.
I cried as Boxer was taken away to the knackers yard but at least Animal Farm has some beautiful moments.
1984 has absolutely no redeeming factors. There are some truly horrible things in it.
Orwell's disillusionment with Socialism is total.
The original film was pretty bleak (I haven't watched the remake) but even that falls short of the book.
