I didn’t always love reading it, but I’m glad I read it because of all that it made me think about and its impact on culture. Truly an educational novella.

This is proof that short books can tell great stories.  It was interesting to read a classic dystopian satire.  It is amazing how closely the events and story of Animal farm mirrored that of the rise of Stalin and communist Russia. I would have enjoyed the book more if we got more of the thoughts from the other animal (not Neapolitan).  I also would have enjoyed finding out what ended up happening to Snowball. Its a book that you can read easily in one day.

This is one of the books I consider a must-read. It is slow, but slow for a reason.
