Animal Farm is an absolutely fantastic book. For me it has been an amazing experience because I thought I would do something else. This book is to people who likes politics and to analyze the context and the history about our world. Then you can read with willingness and emotion this story made for fragments of the real history, in this case by Orwell in the Russian Revolution in 1917.
Something amazing with this book is that you can read it many times and always you can make a relation with the reality and the actuality. Is greathow the author uses animals to typify the problematic in that age but caring out every word; we can use many of that representations to refer our own society and goverment.
We would recommending this book to anyone who wants to open his mind and a differents perspective of the real world but with subtle words.
