Man...why didn't they let me read this one in high school? I would have so loved to take this one and dissect it, I would have jumped at the chance to write essays on how this was meant as an allegory to Stalin's Russia. What I loved the most about this book was that it was so simple, so flowing and it didn't waste time on piddly little details. It didn't muddle the facts. It is one of very few classic and poltical books that I could not put down. And it didn't hold back, you know it was eluding to a corrput goverment and it dosn't have to be just Communisum. It started with a simple, and strong dream, with basic rights that all just fell to pieces as time passes and ultimatly everything surrendered to the greed and indiffence of the leaders. I love that becuse Communisum started as a dream much like the one Major put forth, of a socity exsisting in freedom and taking only what is needed, of sharing the workload. But pepole or in this case animals just don't work like that. There is greed, there is corruption and lust for power. This allegorical story can apply to any system of people trying to work together. It's wonderfully poigiant! I think the best and most heartbreaking moment in the book was when Boxer met his harsh fate after so much he gave to Animal Farm. In the end he was just a sacrfice for unending greed.

Thank you so much for this wonderful book!
