4 legs good, 2 legs better!


Sigh.. this book infuriates me but in such a good way. The social commentary on hypocrisy and corruption of the government. damn. Orwell perfectly shows how easily overtime the population (in this case the animals can be manipulated by a higher power (in this case, by the pigs)

I have now read this for the second time and after learning more about the historical context and actions this book is in response to, I truly believe this is a helpful tool into viewing the society that had formed during the time. Politics are a big theme and the dysfunctional society is a great representation of the history. This is a very fast paced and short read. The material is heavy topic wise but not dense reading.

2.0

Animal Farm was on a book challenge list and it was short, so I gave it a try. It has a lot of similarities to 1984, Orwell's best-known work, specifically the use of changing history to best suit the present, the use of a mouthpiece to speak for the ruler, and the use of scapegoats to cover when things go wrong. It was also dark and violent. 

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