I loved this book.. but also hated how accurate this was. I hated how I could make connections between this story and real life, it constantly made me uncomfortable in a sense where it literally made me like, “wow this is so sad” and “this is happening to this day” It made me so mad that Benjamin could read this entire time and let everything happen, didn’t spread the message or anything. RIP boxer and everyone. The fact that I could still see this theme in real life is absolutely terrifying, especially in this era even though this book was written decades ago, before I was even born. Screw Napoleon, especially Squealer, and every pig!!
