This is another book I had never gotten around to. It was a quick, afternoon read that left me more emotional than I expected. Glad I experienced it as an adult rather than as a teen. I have much more life/political experience now so I was able to pick up on all of the nuances.

4.0

I know.. I could give it more stars, but for me something in the beginning was missing.

Don't get me wrong, it's a super interesting and chilling story, but I still stand by my opinion that these kinds of stories just make me feel discouraged or rather lose my interest at some point.

Despite that, UGH these PIGS, I swear to god. Boxer, Clover and Benjamin were the only ones I took an actual liking to. I will never forgive them for what they did to Boxer.. Also, the way the power change played out and no one could do anything about it? The delivery really did it for me. 

Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments.

It's sad and seriously, the manipulation and unfair favor towards pigs, especially Napoleon, is unbearable.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

i enjoyed this book quite a bit! i went into it with no prior knowledge, and would recommend that you go into it the same way. since it’s very easy to understand, short, and has a clear message, i would recommend this to someone who is struggling to get back into reading. these qualities also make it something i wouldn’t read more than once, though.
