I think this book is too short and it should have few more pages..
The very first time ever (extra-exaggeration) I have this complain after reading a book..
I always hope every book have their own movie version, much easier..less time requiered, *a book, normally tk 7-8 hours to finish..
Anyway, Animal Farm, lets just give exception for this book. There's no need for a movie version or etc for this book. After reading it, a moment later you would realise that, the movie version actually exist earlier, with all of us act in it.
I regret not reading this earlier...
Can we have this book as one of the compulsory text at school? Seriously..

Learning from this story, simply dont be Benjamin, Boxer and Muriel.

"the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again;but already it was impossible to say which was which." (Orwell, 1945:95)
- the characters in this story were installed from the beginning of this notion "Dont be a Human" and as from the ending, this is the notion that we should have learnt; "Dont be a Pig".
