I like Animal Farm so far. I like the fact that it puts a twist on the "talking animals" idea by targeting adults as an audience, as talking animals are widely considered to be for children. I also think it's a creative idea to write a story like the one in this book; to me, it's not exactly a fable, but it's not exactly realistic, either. I like that mix. The story conveys a serious meaning, but it is still kind of whimsical.
Even though the characters are based off of figures during the Russian Revolution, they can still convey a strong message now. Animal Farm's real-life parallel doesn't exist anymore, but the book still retains its morals. I think that the characters, collectively, are meant to show the danger in unmediated power.
