George Orwell’s Animal Farm was an exciting tale form beginning to end. Not only did I enjoy reading this novel, I also learned a lot about the Russian Revolution, since the book was an allegory.
In this story, the farm animals are sick of working hard and not being rewarded, so they start a rebellion and take over the farm. They decide to run the farm by themselves, and for a while they are all happy. Over the course of time, the pigs take over the farm and constantly lie to the more naïve animals.
Two of the main characters in Animal Farm are Snowball and Napoleon, two boars. In the beginning, they both rule the animals together, but due to constant bickering, one triumphs over the other. The winner becomes dictator and a liar. Snowball is a more vocal pig, while Napoleon is more laid back. They both played intricate parts in this make-believe story.
I would highly recommend reading this book for two reasons. Animal Farm taught me about Communism, and the book was very enjoyable to read.

I thought Animal Farm was a pretty good book too. It was kind of boring, but it was okay.
