Last week was, again, a busy one. I first wanted to read a Stephen King’s Dream catcher but I was running low on time so I had to fall back to a emergency change and the decision fell down George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

I can’t remember reading this masterpiece before (shame on me) but it really is something. The way each character represents someone from the real world (a person, or a certain group) and that this is still a current topic even though it has been written almost 70 years ago is astonishing. While reading it many would, probably, today think of North Korea where they still have a dictator and are manipulated like animals. But the sad truth is that everywhere in the world you can apply situations from the book to real life.

The animals on the farm are working hard but the biggest share goes to the pigs. Same thing is observable anywhere in the world. Here in Croatia they say that the average salary is around 5400 kuna which might be true on paper but many people don’t get their money on time, some aren’t payed for a few months to a couple of years. Managers, politicians and the rest of the upper class are the only one who don’t fear anything.

Another part which really made me think was that for anything bad happening to the farm Snowball was held responsible for. This is pretty much what the government wants us to believe that something or someone else is responsible why things are going in the wrong direction.

I won’t go into much detail (I think I already wrote to much) and will let you explore the book and make your own conclusions.

I give this book a 10+/10 (second time I give a +) and recommend this to anyone who thinks that the government sucks
