When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master, Mr Jones, and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling 'fairy story' is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.

You're a kid, you're a pig

So out of the many of the common "literary works" you read in American public schools I think this one really holds up and pretty easy to understand. Though haphazardly applied to many situations I still think it teaches a decent lesson that most benefit from. Even if you don't get the far from subtle message it is still a entertaining story.

A book of all times and scarily accurate

This book gives a lot of thought about the current time, but has done so in previous years. The key takeaway is to take care of yourself, your rights and to stand up for what you believe is right.

A great insightful and easy read.
