George Orwell has done it again; he has written a story that is relevant to the modern day and is scarily similar to actual historical events!!
Despite being written almost two decades earlier than the emergence of the true events of what happened in Soviet Russia, Animal Farm has a LOT of overlap with the genesis of the communist uprising as well as the horrors of the Soviet gulags detailed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (the wall = the windmill???)
Additionally, the misinformation and gaslighting of the other animals by Napoleon and Squealer are eerily similar to that of the Trump administration...well...throughout his entire presidency lol.
Animal Farm is only 84 pages long, but that is definitely enough to send a shiver down your spine...
Rating: 9.5/10
