Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society, only to be betrayed into worse servitude by their leaders, the pigs, whose slogan becomes: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." This 1945 satire addresses the socialist/communist philosophy of Stalin in the Soviet Union.
Classic books and me aren't a good mix. I get bored because everything
goes over my head. But this book, is bloody fantastic. Putting the likes
of animals in place instead of humans, makes you retrain your mind to
think differently. To view and understand things in aways you might not
think you can.
I thought it very clever portraying politics through animals. It was kind of like a crazy circle, where the animals successfully overthrow the humans and start to control themselves. But slowly and sneakily some don't realise, that they're going back to their old ways. But instead of humans controlling then, its now the evil pigs. Very clever indeed.
There isn't loads to say about this book except read it.
