Written by George Orwell
A book for readers in grades 8 and up reviewed by Molly
A
classical political satire, Animal Farm tells the story of personified
animals rebelling against their human farmer. Tired of their constant
mistreatment, the animals turn to the ideas of Animalism to take down Farmer
Jones once and for all. They succeed in their revolution, but all is not well.
Peace and harmony is only secured for a moment, then other animals begin to
seek power.
I actually really enjoyed Animal Farm. It's a classic for a reason, but I expected to feel pretty neutral towards it. I loved the satirical aspects of the book, and the overall message was really well elaborated through the plot. It was a pretty easy read, and I'd definitely recommend it beyond just reading it as a school assignment.
