 I read it twice at a stretch... and found different reasons to read it after as well. Orwell puts things in context and drives home a very strong point here...

 I had to read this for school, and it really wasn't too bad. Would not recommend for anyone younger than 9th, possibly 8th grade, as they may not understand the symbolism. I probably would not read again.

 I'd probably have liked this more if I knew anything about history. Allegories... I don't get them. Besides that it's just as bleak as 1984. Worth reading.

 A reflection of the rise and coruption of communism in Russia as told in the setting of a farm. Animals rise up against their cruel human master, only to be enslaved by the pigs.
