Animal Farm

Finally, after I don't even know how long, I managed to read this. After reading ‘1984' by the same author, and liking it very much, there was little doubt I would enjoy this one as well. I was not expecting, however, to like it this much. While listening to the audiobook (narrated by Timothy West, and what a great narration!) I couldn't help but marvel at George Orwell's genius.

Animal Farm made me feel things, made me feel pissed off more than anything. At a first glance the story doesn't seem much, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it cuts really deep. I think more people should read it.

I am very much enjoying the other reviews, I especially like the parts where readers take a character's side or condemn them. It's really interesting to read the different perspectives and how one's actions, or lack of, are justified. I am not going to join into that conversation, mainly because the list of the characters I disliked is way longer than the ones I liked, but it does make me wonder.
