One of the best book I have read.
Animal Farm
Great dramatization of the very heavy idea that “Absolute power is likely to Corrupt Absolutely!”
I have read this book multiple times and would read it again because every time I read I gain new insights into human nature and the civilization/government game.
What's more, the novel ends with a quote so true that it still gives me chills.
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which”.
I also recommend going through - http://study.com/academy/lesson/allegory-in-animal-farm-characters-examples.html to understand the Animal Farm analogies.
1984
I enjoyed my journey throughout the book, it was full of mixed feeling with a common thread of Depression.
The best part of this book is THE GOVERNMENT ! ‘he who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past'.
We are all living in ‘depression' This book gives new meaning to Depression. Though I know there is a ray of hope somewhere :)
Overall Orwell's fantasy is all too realistic. It fails both as fantasy and prophesy.
Must read books ! Highly recommended to all my reader friends.
A must read classic
Story of mighty rule of dystopian government where even thinking against the party is a crime. The books starts rather slow, introducing each character but the later part is dynamic and it makes you stop, sit and read. Dialogue between O'Brian and Winston is epic. It asks you is the system presented is utter failure or complete success?
Very well written and enjoyable to read even without understanding the allegory and satire. Even better when you do.
I have a feeling I'll read this book at least a few more times in the future, we shall see.
