Animal Farm - George Orwell

Title: Animal Farm

Author: George Orwell

My Rating (out of 5): 3.5

Why?: I was expecting more. I didn’t get the hype of the novel. It was a good story, but people claimed it as “Great American literature,” and I definitely didn’t get that.

Brief summary: The animals on Manor farm are fed up with the humans abusing them and they stage a rebellion. Once they succeed in driving the humans out of the farm, they are on top of the world. But, can they over come many challenges, including rule changes, a traitor, and a dictator? Read and find out.

Who I would recommend this book to: I would recommend this book to anyone who likes strong symbolism and like to decipher things.
