Book Review of "Animal Farm" by George Orwell

Animal Farm (1945) 

One thing that always comes to my mind is nothing except the bad ending. Each paragraph I read always give me some new viewpoint. Although, the next chapter quite predictable. Somehow, I always make a lot of scenario about what's going to happen. The conflicts are so complicated. You can feel-as I feel-the nuances of Mr. Jones hegemony, the struggle of animals in the farm, and the heat of conflict between the pigs-in this novel, they have power domination above the other animals-.

I was thinking-in my own mind, indeed-that this novel clearly explain about how capitalism works, about the Marxism theory-which has so complex explanation-,about the struggle of working class that symbolize with the animals, about the political strategy and game-I called it that way-in simplest way, I thought.

And if you want to know more about how the plot or maybe even the ending, I can't explain it to you in here-I don't want people judge me as a spoiler-. But, I can give you something interest about the novel. And what is it?. The background for sure. It reflects the events leading up to and following the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent rise of the Soviet Union. I mean, who doesn't interested or even care about history, especially the author (George Orwell) wrapped it into sci-fi novel-as I guess-with quite impressive character development and attractive plot.

One thing that always makes me wondering is what the author learn-or maybe experience-that he could make such a character and plot. In this case, I was quite admired by "Squealer" the pig. She is not the main character, her role is-I can say-monotonous. But, the way of she speaks and think make me feel awesome, anger, outrageous, even myself-I can't denied-waiting for her upcoming speech and act. 

Last but not least,-this is my personal request-if you want to read this novel, please do read about what is the capitalism,what is marxism, and maybe about the ideologies, at least the definition and some basic meaning. So you could feel the nuances of the novel.

And that is the review of book of mine-please don't call it a summary or even synopsis-, see you.
