This is proof that short books can tell great stories.  It was interesting to read a classic dystopian satire.  It is amazing how closely the events and story of Animal farm mirrored that of the rise of Stalin and communist Russia. I would have enjoyed the book more if we got more of the thoughts from the other animal (not Neapolitan).  I also would have enjoyed finding out what ended up happening to Snowball. Its a book that you can read easily in one day.
