This is a book that should be on all reading lists. It is an example of how people can be used when they don't closely watch the actions of their leaders. In the book, the other animals are 'dumb' because not many of them can read as well as the pigs. It is somewhat laughable when the pigs are caught red-handed in their adjustments of the laws, but the animals either don't realize it, or are coerced into believing that they're wrong to begin with. This book has been described as a mirror to Communist Russia, but I think Orwell was sending out a large, stronger message then not allowing Communism to take a foot hold in ones country. I think he was saying: "Citizens, WATCH YOUR LEADERS! STAY INVOLVED!!"

I thought it was just okay.
