What Members Thought

Nadine in NY Jones
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.


This was a re-read for me. My daughter's 9th grade English class will be reading it, and since it's been about 35 years since I last read it, a refresher seemed a good idea. I had forgotten how many themes here were later repeated in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Somehow, strangely, this book strikes me as more realistic and therefore more ominous than Orwell's other classic.
