Book Reviews of Animal Farm: Centennial Edition
Book Review: an interesting study of human behavior
Summary: 5 Stars
the common perception is that orwell uses farm animals to illustrate the inherent failings of communism/socialism. while that was certainly his aim, he was really describing frailties common in every human society, should they go unchecked. it is an excellent, sad story. he was obligated to use an untraditional ending - anything else would allow people to forget the story all too soon. an excellent warning about the evils of communism, this work reminds the reader of stalin's purges, kruschev sending his political enemies to obscure siberian cement plants, and mao enslaving hundreds of young subjects in his concubine service. the true face of dictatorships "for the people" -ok
