George Orwell's Animal Farm is one of those books: everyone praise it, but I can't see what for. Yes, there was some good notices about power and it's using and it predicted pretty well the future of the Soviet Union. But still it's not more than one of those books which don't have any kind of impact on you.
For those who haven't
ever heard of this book: in Animal Farm animals start to rebel and
they depose people and form nation where every animal are equal, at
least in the beginning. Orwell who supported socialism, wrote his
short novel as a satire about Soviet Union, which he think had forgot
basic values of socialism.
Even if the novel based
on clever thinking, it doesn't shine with literary merits.
Comparisons to animals are too obvious and the text is way too
pointing and underlining. It isn't funny or even entertaining.
The spark that make you want to read more is conspicuously absent.
