I know it is a known Classic but i liked Animal Farm so much i had to share. Before reading i thought that it would be similar to 1984 or Brave new world which it kind of is but its also very very different. Right from the Beginning i was hooked. I really love Orwells Books but this one is my favourite. I did not expect that. So for anyone that did not yet read it, i highly recomend it! :)

Just as an FYI Orwell was kinda a horrible person. You can still enjoy his literature if you want but he couldn't help to find Hitler unlikable, was a colonial cop in India and didn't like how the Hindi people treated him because of it and and made lists of people who he accused of being leftists and Jewish.

I would have thought finding Hitler unlikeable would be a positive attribute ? Was that a typo ?

Orwell was a socialist so making lists of leftists seems surprising; are you sure this wasn't an ideological tankies vs socialists or marxists vs trotskyists ?

It was probably a typo.
