"I don’t think I’m quite old enough to fully appreciate the beauty of a lot of classic literature. But I was able to appreciate Animal Farm, mostly because it’s so accessible. I was hooked from beginning to end. The fact that I got as attached to the characters of a 120 page novel as I do is insane. I felt helpless, angry, and sad when misfortune befell them. Especially Boxer who has the most tragic life of all. This book was written in response to actions from the Soviet Union, and it really put to light hard and suppressed topics in a accessible and easy way to understand. Animal Farm deserves all of the praise that it gets. I loved it. 5/5 stars. "
"Animal farm has so many themes and elements to it that reflect into real life, probably inspired by the events around the time of its creation. The way it portrays many groups of people by using the animals. I like the connections that it makes and how it slowly shows the upper class animals breaking the commandments, as a way to show a hierarchy and the divide between the animals. "
"A graphic adaptation of one of my favorite novels? Yes, please! I was first introduced to ( and fell in love with ) Orwell in my high school freshman Psych 101 class.... but that’s a long story so, man, let me just tell ya, I ADORED & DEVOURED this!!! I read it in bed last night, read it again today, and then back through once more just to get a better look at the lovely watercolor illustrations. ADORED! #graphic_novels #dystopia #classics "
