I think this was a good book. Have I lost sleep over things that I read in this book-no, however I think that lessons and ideas touched on in this book are extremely relevant. One of them being that knowledge is power, which is a common theme across Orwells books. I think that anyone reading this book can understand that despite the full title  Animal Farm: A Fairy Story (that has been changed to not include the last bit), that Orwell is suggesting anything other than a fairy story and leans Into his satirical writing.

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.
