[b:Animal Farm|7613|Animal Farm|George Orwell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1424037542s/7613.jpg|2207778] is the satire fiction novel, but it feels like apocolyptic to me. "All men are enemies.

"Animal Farm" is a fable of great symbolism.

I initially read an excerpt of Animal Farm while in high school. We were supposed to liken some of the passages to what occurred in Russia under Stalin.I am very happy that I got to finally read this whole thing (not that big of a read, only 102 pages, and they go quickly) and really loved it from b...

That being said I didn't particularly love th...

I am a self-proclaimed Cynical Optimist. I damn-well expect the worst out of my fellow human beings, but I hope like hell they'll prove me wrong. That is why I appreciate this book.You will learn more about human nature by reading about these animals than you're likely to be privy to in a thousand o...
