I read this book for the Classics Reading Challenge.

I liked the unbothered cat. She was indecisive and didn't care much for others. What an icon. Otherwise, the character development was well-done, and I had a lot of fun seeing how the characters gradually transform.

An allegory for a totalitarian regime. An enjoyable and thought-provoking fable. This story will certainly not make you tedious.

There are no lines I'd like to share.

The end was fabulous! I like the note it ended on.

A timeless and provocative story. I'm glad I read it.

I loved how this book perfectly described a whole history lesson with some pigs and horses. It’s really freakin’ genius.
