Nice read
George Orwell’s "Animal Farm" is a brilliant allegorical novella that uses the framework of a farm uprising to satirize the Russian Revolution and the subsequent Stalinist era. The animals of Manor Farm, tired of their oppressive human owner, Mr. Jones, revolt and establish a new order based on the principles of Animalism, summarized in the Seven Commandments. Initially, the farm prospers under their own management, with ideals of equality and shared labor.However, the pigs, led by the cunning Napoleon, gradually seize power, manipulating the other animals through propaganda, fear, and violence. The Seven Commandments are subtly altered to justify the pigs' increasingly privileged position, culminating in the infamous maxim: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The farm's initial utopian vision deteriorates into a totalitarian regime, mirroring the corruption and betrayal of the Soviet system.Orwell's writing is sharp and concise, effectively conveying the gradual erosion of ideals and the insidious nature of power. The animal characters are memorable and representative of different social classes and personality types. Through this deceptively simple story, Orwell delivers a powerful and enduring critique of totalitarianism, highlighting the dangers of unchecked power, the manipulation of language, and the suppression of individual thought. "Animal Farm" remains a relevant and cautionary tale about the importance of vigilance and the preservation of individual liberties.

Highly recommended
Animal Farm is a fictional type book written by George Orwell. It is mainly a book about equality and power. These sarcastic words help to show what the book is not about. The film illustrates the power of communism in making animal look better than human and hence that animals from then on run amuck on the farm of equals. The characters are straightforward and uncomplicated. The writing is plain and easy but creative and skill full taking people along with a charm till the end. This is the lagniappe that keeps readers engaged in books.
