All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
This is pretty much a children´s version of 1984, although maybe not suitable for children. It is a shorter story with the same principles, and told through the eyes of farm animals. It is very gritty and there is no happy ending or happy anything. In spite of this, the writing still seems to be a bit cheerful, which made for a nice contrast to its oppressive theme.
I haven't read this book since I was in middle school. It more than lived up to what I remembered.
