I won't give a summary on Animal Farm because most people will know what it is. I thought it excellently described how power can corrupt someone even if they started using it for the right reasons. I don't think it's necessarily communism from the moment they started lying. Communism is about working together for the needs of everyone, not just the "pigs". It accurately described "communist" Russia, which again I don't think was actually communist. It was a good book to reflect on society and I recommend it to everyone.
