Another briiliant book of George Orwell I read this past month. I cannot get enough of his writing, it is amazing!!

George Orwell's classic satire of Stalin's Communistic state of the old USSR still can teach us a lesson.

Orwell uses a farm and its animals in a well thought out parody substituting animals for the main characters involved in the Russian Revolution unto the establishment of a Communistic State.

For example the prize Middle White boar named the Old Major is suppose to represent the father of Communism Karl Marx. The Berkshire boar named Napoleon represents the long time Russian Dictator Joseph Stalin.

Orwell uses these characters to show the development of a treacherous and diabolical form of government. Orwell shows the evolution of political brainwashing to develop a totalitarian form of government.

For kids who dont know the world war and cold war era, they should definetly pick this book up!
