Animal Farm

Yesterday I finished reading ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell. It’s interesting but also disturbing. Not as disturbing as ‘1984’ though, it almost made me cry but not quite! There are some really brutal scenes. It is very well written all around. It’s a satire/ metaphor to Communism and translates well the anti – Stalinist feeling of the epoch it was written in. Even if one could say it can be equally applied to today in certain ways. I can understand how it became so popular and a classic. It’s full of 2nd meanings. I wanted to read it more by curiosity. Whilst reading there were times, especially towards the end, I thought ‘why am I reading this?!’ Not sure if to recommend it or not.
