Pigs will be pigs, I guess. 

For its time, I can see how this book has been considered a classic. However, reading it now, the metaphor, while still relevant, is nothing revolutionary.

I think the main thing that kept me from truly loving this book was the hype train that accompanied and also the glaring communist allegory. The ending gave me chills though. Orwell has the deft ability to bring the reader out in a full body shiver with some of his choices. The last paragraph is stunning.
