Animal Farm Review

Animal Farm By George Orwell
                       ...Naploeon Himself!


This is a brilliant book about animals.(SPOILER: The names of the animals are pseudonyms for stereotypical roles of human beings in a state.). What makes this book absolutely mesmerizing is its neutral narrative approach.There are no happy pigs or sad horses.There are just actions. Horses gambol (excitement),animals rest on a knoll and sing blues(sadness). And while they do it they give the readers a perfect view of aristocratic society torn in the face of oligarchy just like George Orwells' 1984.

It is impossible to appreciate the beauty of this piece of literature without spoilers. Paradoxically however, there are no spoilers for this book. Its fairly predictable in every aspect. Still the words used by author are so apt ,its almost heartbreaking to give away the story and ruin the purpose of these words .This is the kind of book that takes some time to settle in your brain. Confession: I realized how good it is only after the first sentence of this review.Unlike George Orwell's second novel “1984” this novel does not only impart knowledge through fiction but balances the fiction and concept of totalitarian society. Adjectives used for describing the landscape and scenes take you straight to the point of action.Flow of words is absolutely comfortable to grasp. I'll go as far as to say that the satire is impeccable(even though satire is subjective.SPOILER – Napolean himself!)

This book is exceptional.It is a definitive guide to formation of an oligarchy.It has everything..conformity(psychology), aristocracy(philosphy), wind mills(science?). Need I say more? Verdict is in accord to the passage- STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
