Extremely relevant for today
George Orwell is a master of deciphering complicated political structures, as seen through the Spanish Civil War. But what is more extraordinary is his prophetic ability, for only months later Britain was at the mercy of German bombs as he correctly predicted.

His first-hand account of fighting in the war makes him unique in his ability to be able to write about it unlike many of the other biased publications at the time. It is an extremely political book so it may not suit someone who wants to read about the emotional upheaval being on the frontline.

He truly is a genius ahead of his time.

Clever but a bit weird
I have been wanting to read this book for a long time and thought I would fit it in as a quick filler while I have essays to write. I had great expectations for the novel and whilst my expectations were met, I wasn't overwhelmed. I guess like 1984, the time in which the novel was written makes the work a classic. Its a simple read and cleverly structured. Using animals make the book simpler and perhaps easier to carry a political message without getting too messy. All in all, I'm not blown away but I did enjoy it.
