"Animal Farm" is one of Orwell's best works. It is a profound anti-Utopia political allegory. A group of animals on the farm successfully carried out a "revolution", driving their exploitative human masters out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, the animal leaders, those smart pigs, eventually usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more authoritarian and totalitarian rulers than their human counterparts.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting! It tells the story of a group of animals resisting human oppression, but in the end the power is held by smart pigs, which made me think about real-life politics. I hate those selfish pigs who betray the trust of other animals. However, this book also made me understand that power can easily corrupt people, and we must be wary of those with evil intentions. Moreover, the author's writing is very vivid and interesting to read, and it feels like chatting with a friend. I recommend everyone to read this book, you will gain a lot!
This book is extremely ironic. Where is the utopia? The final result of the revolution is that a minority takes power, and the vast majority becomes a member of the rabble and is exploited by a few vested interests.
