3.0

This is a solid classic that is quite easy to read. Its analogies are pretty obvious. As leisure reading, it isn’t my cup of tea, but it’s clearly well done and is worthwhile to read if you haven’t yet, especially since it is so short.

5.0

Secara tersirat, novel ”Animal Farm” menjelaskan bagaimana awal revolusi yang bertujuan baik perlahan menjadi situasi yang tidak menyenangkan. Bahkan situasi itu menjadi kesempatan dari keserakahan para babi.

Overall, novel “Animal Farm” memiliki unsur politik yang disampaikan dengan gaya ala cerita dongeng fable. Namun, bedanya, novel ini menunjukkan sisi gelap dari keserakahan itu sendiri.

It was an okay book. I had to read it for a class, but it did have me interested at some parts. Wish the ending was more exciting, but the ending makes sense for the story. Boxer deserved better.
