Dystopia is to put it simply, anti- utopia. This book is a dystopian novel i really enjoyed reading this book. It's main theme was very intriguing to me. Basically, this story is about bunch of farm animals taking over the farm to create a better world for them to live in. The old major boar gathers all the animal to tell them about his dream, a dream to bring harmony and peace to the farm by working together and cooperating. Without fulfilling this dream, the old major boar dies of old age. After old major dies, three younger pigs take over. Although they start with the same intent the old major wanted, their original plan gets skewed and goes off tangent. They start on an idea called, Animalism. at first it seemed like everything was going to plan but as time went by, one of the pig became greedy. Napoleon starts to behave rather badly and starts to frame another pig as a villain and a dore thumb to the community. In the end, there is no peace and the pigs who despised the human beings started to become like them. They started standing up and drinking whiskeys like greedy human beings they despised.
Reading this book, i came to realize even more how corrupted human beings are. it sickens me to think that whether you are human being or an animal, you will eventually turn your head towards corruption.

I like Animal Farm because there is so much satire in the book. Every action and every saying that the characters do and say are a historical reference to what the leaders of the past have done and said. Great book.
