I finally, after having it in my possession for over a year, forced myself to read this story that I have been told relentlessly that I will hate. I adore it. It really makes you think, not only politically, but also about human nature regarding power. Although in a viewpoint of animals, it relates to many humans that gain power that I personally have known. Highly recommend, extremely worthwhile. Also, this book is not a hard one to read. It's quite straightforward.
