This is a classic – if you read it in junior high, read it again – it will take on whole new shades of meaning. Then read 1984 if you haven’t already..

Great book- a good warning of how things can go so wrong – and a good example of political sophistry

I read this book a number of years ago and yet it still is present in my mind. Often I see real-life happenings which bring back scenes in this book. The happenings are not always pleasant ,but they are reality in our daily world. Should be a required reading for schoolchildren–middle school age-8th grade. A true life lesson.

The book is Orwell at his easiest. He makes his points about bigotry and totalitarianism on a farm. I still remember and quote the most famous line from the book.

Orwell’s allegorical tale is a must-read still today when those who choose not to think allow the power hungry and serving to subjugate them without protest.

Animal Farm should be read by everyone in the world! I have gifted this short, poignant novel a dozen times to very different people from all over the world, and I have learned so much from listening to their thoughts about this timeless allegory.
