Now this is an interesting topic. It was written in 1944 and published a year later just after the end of world war 2. George Orwell must have had some powerful insight to know so much about what happened in Soviet Russia to write a satire about it.

I LOVE this book as well as 1984. George Orwell was definitely a political genius in my opinion.

It was funny, I remember my freshman class either hating it or not understanding it and I finished the whole thing in two days! o.O

I remember reading it long ago, but don't recall much. I also saw the cartoon and the live action type version also.

One can see it as just an interesting story, or try to find messages within the book.

I watched the animated film version on youtube today and it's inspired me to read the book.

I've read about it when I was in high school when I took Literature, and I saw the movie as well. It's a really good story to read. XD

Since I just graduated less than a week ago, I can say with absolute certainty that this was in fact the only book that I was forced to read in school that was actually tolerable. The last book I had to read for school was "Floating In My Mother's Palm." *Shudders* It was a God awful book. I could only get halfway through it. I just winged it on the test and passed with a C-. Pretty good considering I hadn't even read the end half of the book. :p
