vishwesh's review against another edition
5.0
One of the best book I have read.
Animal Farm
Great dramatization of the very heavy idea that "Absolute power is likely to Corrupt Absolutely!"
I have read this book multiple times and would read it again because every time I read I gain new insights into human nature and the civilization/government game.
What’s more, the novel ends with a quote so true that it still gives me chills.
“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”.
I also recommend going through - http://study.com/academy/lesson/allegory-in-animal-farm-characters-examples.html to understand the Animal Farm analogies.
1984
I enjoyed my journey throughout the book, it was full of mixed feeling with a common thread of Depression.
The best part of this book is THE GOVERNMENT ! 'he who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past'.
We are all living in 'depression' This book gives new meaning to Depression. Though I know there is a ray of hope somewhere :)
Overall Orwell's fantasy is all too realistic. It fails both as fantasy and prophesy.
Must read books ! Highly recommended to all my reader friends.

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
.
Bu kitabı kaçıncı okuyuşum artık cidden bilmiyorum. Ama her okuyuşum bana bir hatırlatıcı niteliğinde oluyor. Her zaman bir tür özgürlük mücadelesinin olması ama şahsi çıkarlar uğruna özgürlüğün, eşitliğin bir şekilde engellenmesi bence daha güzel anlatılamazdı. Üzerine belki bir saat konuşurum ama o kadar çok bilinen ve okunan bir kitap ki benim bir şeyler anlatmama gerek yok. Tek diyeceğim şu ki eğer kitaba sadece Stalin dönemi eleştirisi olarak bakarsanız çok şey kaçırırsınız.

Just not my type of book. I didn't like the relation of human to animal, I hate parables like that. To me it's a "just come out and say it"
