A short and easy read about a very complicated topic. The way the allegory was presented was engaging and easy to understand, which I think is great to have for younger readers. It’s easy to see why this book is so prevalent in schools.
It’s unfortunately very topical even 80 years later. We’re watching misinformation and propaganda be shoved at us in real time and it’s important not to be complacent in it. As sadly realistic as it can be, I do wish the farm animals had realized what was happening before it was too late. The ending gave a great message but damn it was depressing.
