Animal Farm by Geroge Orwell

The book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell is about dictatorship and a supposed utiopia.
Instead of human characters, Mr. Orwell uses animals as main charaters. Once the animals overthrow the humans, leaderships form and most animals learn to read. The pigs are the smartest (therefore read best and rule all of the animals) , followed by the dogs. There are too many leaders (all pigs) and so the strongest pig (napoleon) eliminates the other leaders. He then forms a dictatorship and rules over all the animals. This book sends a message about dictatorship and utoipa.
I recomend Animal Farm and think is is an excellent book. It is suitable for ages 11 or so to senior and is about 139 pages. Enjoy
