Animal Farm by George Orwell
As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As readers witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, they begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organization and in the most charismatic leaders, the souls of the cruelest oppressors.
iv-why?- After reading this novel in my English 12 class, I can honestly say that I won't be reading this book again... The story line was very predictable and the plot seemed over all a little dry, Yes this book compares to Russian history, but that doesn't really add to the value of the novel. Also, the ending wasn't a big shocker, more a disappointment. Since this book is a literary 'classic', I do recommend that everyone should read it once, but I wouldn't expect anyone to fall in love with this book.
Rating: 6 out of 10
