The further in, the harder it is to listen to; I found myself considering today's social climate throughout, and how somethings never seem to change. It is a great book to reflect on, and one I would recommend to anyone getting into political theory and social justice.

This was very readable. It felt in many ways like a surreal prequel to 1984.
I feel like I could write an essay on who each animal character represented. In particular, Boxer, who I felt physically sick about when I realised how his story was going to turn out.
Unfortunately a lot of the points raised by Orwell here are still incredibly relevant in Britain today.
A great bitesized classic.
