A true classic. Thought provoking and original.
This classic is as timely today as when I read it as a teenager, and now I appreciate its truth more.
We are all equal,,,,but some is more equal than others…. !
Sums up life today
Great philosophy about governments/politics goibg on today but using farm animals to tell about this woeful tale. A great way if poking fun and delivering a warning to readers.
First read this allegorical tale as a high school assignment. Now, at age 72, and having lived during a dizzying world history, it makes wonderful, funny, funny sense.
a true classic
Good book to read for high school students.
I remember that when I was little, I saw a cartoon of the animal farm. I do not remember much about it, but I do remember that the film was stressful (for a little girl), that the animation was not Disney-friendly kind of animation and that I felt there was more to it than it was.

important to read at various ages = read it more than once in your life
An interesting lens through which to view equal and more equal.
An analogy that applies to today’s tumultuous political climate. Really makes you sit up & take notice.
Wonderful writing.
Classic
Had to read it in school. Hated it!
Symbolism and meaning strong.
Friends said they read this in school. It took a lot longer for me to get it. Eye opening book. Wish I had read in school. Cool read.
