You don’t even have to be particularly good at it. I think this also shows how incredibly easy it is to mislead groups of people. And that being said, this is still a well written and entertaining book that one could easily enjoy without dwelling on the any allegorical themes present in the book. Some people will simply always hear what they want to hear, regardless of what is actually being said.

It’s anti-facist, and pro socialist, and I really don’t understand how that’s not immediately obvious. While dealing wholly with communism and anti-authoritarianism, it seems amazing to me that certain groups can so completely misunderstand the message in this book. They are all true, while still being an enjoyable yarn that kept me entertained throughout.

When this book is talked about, it’s always the same things I see mentioned, like “shockingly prescient” and “still relevant”.

Would read again, and will be fun to reference in the future.Ĭliché I know, but. 'I will work harder' and 'Napoleon is always right' become his guiding maxims, up until the day he works himself to death, just days before he should retire and enjoy a relaxing life of pasture. Additionally, I loved the character of Boxer the work horse. Orwell does a fantastic job commenting on power corruption using the pigs to illustrate. In particular, I liked how the pigs ascend the throne, with Old Major inciting the riot and Napoleon battling Snowball for overall leadership of the farm. In particular, I love how each animal performs a unique function and everything kind of 'carries on' despite upheaval and power struggle. Animal Farm was a quick listen that really captured my attention with its detail and fun parallels between animal and human. A wonderful parody of human society where the animals revolt against their owners in hopes of creating a collective farm 'for us by us'. Loved how original and imaginative this title is, and how prescient it still is today.
