Chantel's Reviews > Animal Farm

This story probably had more of an impact in its early days, reading it in 2020 wasn't so shocking. Though I do understand the comparisons that Orwell was making between his fictional characters & the real-life people who performed the actions he wrote about, I wasn't shocked or truly enticed. I had done previous (personal) research regarding the events & the people involved in them so, when it came time to read this book, I felt as though I was simply reading a quaint 'secret' retelling of them. I would still say that this book is worth the read as Orwell is a talented writer however, if you've done your research or are generally familiar with the Revolution(s) you might find this to be a simple afternoon read versus a revealing story.
