Review: Animal Farm

Animal Farm by George Orwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Humorously and truthfully, Orwell looks into not just the then current political tensions but also dives into human nature at its core.

Emotionally contorting, the sinister twists in this book showed me the longing every man has to be accepted and loved. Rejection by a beloved can cause a man to lose his sanity thus result to diabolical and irreversible concoctions.
