4 legs good, 2 legs bad!

4 legs good, 2 legs better!


Sigh.. this book infuriates me but in such a good way. The social commentary on hypocrisy and corruption of the government. damn. Orwell perfectly shows how easily overtime the population (in this case the animals can be manipulated by a higher power (in this case, by the pigs)

5.0

I have now read this for the second time and after learning more about the historical context and actions this book is in response to, I truly believe this is a helpful tool into viewing the society that had formed during the time. Politics are a big theme and the dysfunctional society is a great representation of the history. This is a very fast paced and short read. The material is heavy topic wise but not dense reading.
