Animal farm is, hands down, one of the best books I've ever read.

Being the first book Orwell wrote explicitly with politics in mind, it's amazing how each animal represents a collective of our society. And since it's written like a fable, it's really easy to understand and short despite the dephs of it's messages.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, regardless if they want to read about a satiric view of an Stalinist govenship or a simple dystopian story.
