'Animal Farm' is a story about animals rebelling against humans and taking over a farm in England. There are many main characters. Napoleon is one of them. He is a young boar that is the self-promclaimed leader of Animal Farm. Snowball is another boar who also leads Animal Farm but he always disagrees with Napoleon which causes arguments between the animals. Boxer and Clover are both strong and determined horses. Benjamin is the wise donkey and oldest animal on the farm.
The revolution of the animals rebelling against the humans is going smoothly until Napoleon drives Snowball out of Animal Farm, taking complete control and destroying the true meaning of a 'revolution'. The revolution that is written about in 'Animal Farm' is based on the 'Stalin Era' before World War 2. It is the story of the rise to power of Joseph Stalin during the Russian Revolution.
The author, George Orwell wrote this book from 1943-1944 but was not able to get it published until 1945 because it was quite controversial. 'Animal Farm' is a very enjoyable story with some fascinating characters and exciting events. I recommend this book to adults and children over 13. I rate this book 9 out of 10.
