‘Animal Farm’ is truly an interesting story; we all know what the story represents but George Orwell portrayed communists Russia in World War II really well. The book was short and I was able to read it in one day, almost in one sitting. I think we could spend a long time discussing which animal represents which Russian and working out which battle was The Battle of the Cowshed or The Battle of the Windmill. I did especially enjoy the flag (The Horn and Hoof Flag reminiscent of the hammer and sickle), Squealer (propaganda pig) and Moses the Raven (the Russian Orthodox Church). It is definitely one of those books you need to read at least once in your lifetime. I think I enjoyed it more than ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’.
It’s probably about time for me to read this again. Been quite a few years.
i haven’t read it since high school, but i remember it being good. Its easy to read, but there is so much in it.
Fantastic book! It’s been so many years since I read it. Probably time for a reread.
It was fantastic, I was pleasantly surprised on how good it was
