  <default_description>At the dawn of a killer colonial winter, starving and desperate to live, a brave band of Animals escape the tyranny of their human Masters. Led by a visionary stallion, they brave miles of wilderness and a treacherous river crossing to start a homeland of their own??Animal Colony. There, they find freedom and prosperity... for a while. But a seductive and destructive belief system invades Animal Colony. The humble beasts must then learn to tell truth from enticing lie, or risk losing everything for which they?ve fought and bled.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting book and a sobering allegory of our society and where we are headed.  I have never read Animal Farm, but knowing the basic plot, I would say this book is similar...only probably an easier read!]]></body>
