I haven't read this book in a while, but I do remember really liking this book. I'm not very savvy when it comes to politics, so there was a lot that went over my head, but it is pretty clear when it comes to revolution who is bad and who is good and who becomes the despot of the group. I liked this book because it made the subject more interesting by using animals as the central characters instead of humans. This is a classic and everyone should read it. But they should read it also, not just because it is a classic, but because it is so good and gives readers insight into human nature and how we really aren't much different from animals when it comes to the order of things.
