A book review is a statement where a blogger/writer/reviewer provides his/her opinion. Animal farm, a book by George Orwell dwells in the hearts of thousands and millions of people. Why is it loved by people so much?? Why is it so popular and one of the most famous classics?? Let me do the honours of answering your questions.

Hello everyone. Welcome to my blog: Magical BookLush.

Before I start reviewing this book, I would like to inform the new readers and remind my old readers that this book is a part of my CLASSICS READING CHALLENGE. I have already reviewed 1 book that you can find on my site.

So let’s start, shall we?

Written by George Orwell.

Summary:

What happens when ill-treated farm animals gang up to throw out their lazy, corrupt and power-drunk rulers??

Animal farm is born.

As humans get ousted from Manor Farm and animals take control, their utopian fantasy of running a farm on the basis of equality soon begins to crumble before their eyes. The rebellion of the animals, led by two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, gives way to corrupt practices that lead to unthinkable consequences.

Reviews on Novel:

A wise, compassionate, and illuminating fable for our times.
-The New York Times.

Orwell’s satire is amply broad, cleverly conceived, and delightfully written
-San Francisco Chronicle.

Absolute first-rate…
Comparable to Voltaire and Swift.
-The New Yorker.

My summary:

Tired and fed up of the ill-treatment, animals rebel against their owners and chase them away. With the pigs as their leader, the animals take charge of the farm and start working with some ground rules.

The rules that every animal has to follow.

As time passes by, their dream of freedom and democracy is crushed by their own kind and they are forced into thinking whether they did something wrong by rebelling against their owners.

Quote in animal farm.

But now it is too late. The commandments are changed, their memories have faded and been altered with, the pigs start taking advantages of their dumbness or innocence (if you want to put it that way) and the outcomes bring them back to where they had started before but this time, it’s not people ruling. It’s the pigs.

Animal farm’s true definition.

My Review:

My opinion.

The book is seriously a must-read. It is a really interesting and unique novel. The starting of the novel is a bit slow and the introduction of the characters is not properly and thoroughly done as there are many of them. If you read the novel with an interval like I had to do, you will forget some characters. I felt the start was a little slow.

It uniquely and wonderfully describes the blindness that acquiring power causes. It also has a really good flow, slow, but good. It defines a Russian era that many of us are unaware of.

Final opinion: MUST TRY.

This novel should be tried at least once. It deserves a good hour of book club discussion. The link to buy this novel is given both above and here.
