Animal Farm

Animal Farm by George Orwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unlike many, I never read this book in school. Shocker, I know. I did not know what to expect, and boy was this book a doozy. I wonder if it's being taught in schools right now?

"Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than just ribbons?"

"Man serves the interests of no creature except himself."

This book was written in 1945, so right after WWII. When you think of that and the fact that the pigs who end up leading the animals use the term comrade, the whole thing become a chilling commentary on human nature.

Really, I don't know what to say about this book besides read it. It is a classic worth the time.
