Animal Farm was on a book challenge list and it was short, so I gave it a try. It has a lot of similarities to 1984, Orwell's best-known work, specifically the use of changing history to best suit the present, the use of a mouthpiece to speak for the ruler, and the use of scapegoats to cover when things go wrong. It was also dark and violent. 

If you want to read an Orwellian look at the world, read 1984.

George Orwell gaslights the animals hard in this book. It's pretty fast-paced and entertaining albeit a tad dark for children.

3.0

The story and writing made it quite dull at times, but that wasn't really the point of this story but instead to show the cons of communism, and to that point it did its job well. Even though at times I was bored, I would recommend people to read this one.
