"Exquisite book… made you mad? Made you cry? Made you doubt everything? That means the author did his job well… and with Orwell you can’t go wrong. It always surprises me the clarity with which he is able to perceive society, its structure, its dynamics and interestingly… its future. The book still applies for our current social word in 2025! It was published in 1945!!! The book is meant to infuriate you, as it is an allegory to human nature and how blind we can be to injustice, even if it is happening right in front of us. A MUST in your reading list. Ok CHEERS enjoy bye for now"
"I don’t think I’m quite old enough to fully appreciate the beauty of a lot of classic literature. But I was able to appreciate Animal Farm, mostly because it’s so accessible. I was hooked from beginning to end. The fact that I got as attached to the characters of a 120 page novel as I do is insane. I felt helpless, angry, and sad when misfortune befell them. Especially Boxer who has the most tragic life of all. This book was written in response to actions from the Soviet Union, and it really put to light hard and suppressed topics in a accessible and easy way to understand. Animal Farm deserves all of the praise that it gets. I loved it. 5/5 stars. "
"listened to this he unabridged audio book and after all these years, the impact of the iconic final commandment and the last line is still strong. it’s easy to see where this was going (thanks to the lengthy opening prologue) but it’s written in such a great tone that by the end it does feel like the fairy tale that’s it’s subtitled to be."
