I read this decades ago and wanted to re-read it now – in 2020. Was fascinating to watch things change and to see facts twisted into a “new truth” – illustrates the danger of repeatedly hearing things that that didn’t really happen – but eventually become the new truth.

What a wonderful book that talks about the injustices of the modern age. I really enjoyed this book and it opened my eyes to what corruption fills our planet.

I have read this for classes, and I would have abandoned it had it not been a required read. Stylistically it is not the type of book I read and I just didn’t like it.

Review for the Portuguese reader. Livro fácil e curto. Dá para o estudante de inglês ler no original compreendendo quase tudo, mas há boas traduções. Todos somos iguais, mas alguns de nós somos mais iguais que os outros. Se gostar, leia 1984, do mesmo autor.

I read this a long time ago and it was ok, but seemed a bit unreal. Now, the behavior of the children in the book seems to be a perfect allegory for the politicians in DC. I fear for us as a nation becoming an “Animal Farm”.

A literary quintessence. The book is ingenious. For a book written in is time, reading it in today’s world gives an enlightened and haunting perspective on society.

True to socialism endgame.

Political satire, bitterly prophetic.
Especially relevant today!
