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.

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