- 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.

Anyways, if you want to read it just because it's considered a classic, do it knowing it's full of anticommunism sentiment and it's not genuine. I would just tell you not to waste your time, but you do you - I myself only listened to it to be able to criticize it and refute it. Everyone has their reasons. You could consider it a "hate reading" haha

I loved the writing style and after I started reading I just kept reading. It also has a great audiobook version on spotify. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
