Although it is in allegory, the violence and death in this book can be graphic - especially if you're sensitive to animal deathpeggy_racham's review against another edition

- pretty enjoyable to read, sometimes i forgot which animals were who but that was more on me than the book
- i’d read it again and definitely annotate next time
- interesting connections to communism and capitalism especially with the themes and ideas centralised around the cold war and west vs east ideologies (USA/USSR)
- i would’ve LOVED to read this in school it would’ve been way more enjoyable compared to anything we were given

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