Continuing with reading books I saw on a top 10o list, I decided to next read Animal Farm. I’ve always heard about it and knew the general story, but figured it was time to give it a shot.
I really enjoyed it a lot. It’s pretty obvious right off the bat that it mirrors the Russian revolution. Much of it I found to be quite humorous but also a bit too true at the same time.
By far and away and perhaps that saddest I’ve ever felt while reading a book was when Boxer gets taken away. I kept hoping that somehow he’d get away in time with each word I read, and was so very sad when he didn’t. I really liked Boxer and am still a bit bummed over his loss. It was pretty rough.
This was a very good book and I can easily see why it made it to that top 100 list.
