This is a well written book which may have been a little controversial at the time of publication. Great read - can't quite understand why I have not read previously. Will read his 1984 book next.

Animal Farm is a gripping and timeless tale about the abuse of power. George Orwell writes so beautifully yet so simply to really illustrate his over arching themes and points. Whilst this book deals with some rather serious topics, such as totalitarian states, there are many comedic segments! I truly loved this book and will be re-reading it in the near future!

a milestone in English literature Yet again, this time Boris Johnson's grasping crony inept Government shows what happens when he pigs have the management of the farm. Perhaps the measure of Johnson's success should be the number of Covid gravestones and the flourishing of charitable foodbanks. And yet, again, we are told that all is in hand and progressing well. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE WORD "AMAZING" It has become so debased. Surely GOOD will do?

I'm not usually an avid reader but this book had me hooked from start to finish. Although the story is told about animals, it is certainly directed at our human nature, revealing how subtle the downfall from high held values and goals to raw nature is. So very well written.

Good, fast service. I bought this with the CD/mp3, and it was great to read and listen at the same time! A very interesting story!
