Animal Farm by George Orwell 5★
(Paperback, an old family hand-me-down
Audiobook (from itunes), read by Ralph Cosham)

I was finding this hard to review. I had the paperback and the audiobook on itunes for ages. Untouched.
Well this is a short read for one, so that was a plus. And I listened to the introduction and what not on my audiobook (from itunes). One of the opinions is that this a fairy tale like story. And I love those kinds of stories and so that's why I gave this a go. I was a little turned off by this because my sister had read this in her teens and it profoundly changed her views on the treatment of animals.

So I dug out the paperback so that I can really follow along with the audio. I think without the audio, I wouldn't have enjoyed this as much. Ralph Cosham did a good job reading this. I really liked his singing for "Beasts of England." And his accents were a nice touch.
I think the fairy tale is there, along with it's political statements and that animals do have feelings. Definitely a complex short book. And the ending had left me a curious thought. Had the pigs' physical features transformed to human? And had the humans transformed to look like pigs? I thought it was both. That their true selves had been revealed
