Animal Farm

I really enjoyed Animal Farm, but oh, was it tragic. I kept hoping a happy ending would appear, but considering the events it allegorizes, such hope was misplaced. George Orwell's rather straightforward writing style took a definite back seat compared to the plot; his satire did its job and did it well.

 

In short, I understand why this book is considered a classic.

 

Now, would you please excuse me for several minutes? I'm busy mourning.

 

(No, I am not crying. Yes, I would appreciate a handkerchief.)

Definitely one of my favorite books. Simplistic and heavy-handed enough to be introduced at a young level (I read this in sixth grade, if I recall right; maybe seventh) but powerful in its themes and approach. Everybody always touts 1984 as being the best Orwell book, but Animal Farm was almost diabolically ordinary and truly genius.
