An interesting and very peculiar book.  Imagine for a moment if animals by way of revolution overthrew their human masters on a farm and took over the farm.  That's essentially what we takes place here.  It really is a trult peculiar scenario as understanadably this is the only such farm in all of England.  Like so much of fiction, there is a deeper menaing behind the story.  The revolution in this scenario, is representative of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917
