I thought of giving this a 3 star rating like any other “readable” classic. But the last sentence didn't allow me. What a perfect story arc. It's almost like science. We know how it is going to end, right after Napoleon takes over. Yet unlike other books, we actually enjoy seeing it go the way we expected it to.
Every sentence of this little book hits the bull's eye. How the rules kept on changing, the originality of the Squealer character, the dumbness of other animals, and the best one - when the writer chose pigs to be the intelligent ones, the rulers and them owning protection dogs. I haven't read a better satire. Well, maybe that's because I am not that much of a reader.
