My biggest complaint was how thin the allegory was. Like, Orwell didn't have to use animal farms at all, it read like a history lesson for most parts. I felt between chapter 3 to chapter 8 were mostly just boring and pigs Doing a power capture slowly. Did chapter 3 to 8 help create the impact of chapter 9 and 10? Absolutely. Could they have been done better? I think so, it didn't have to be read like a history lesson.

For me it wasn't a strong book. But one with a clear message which was aimed at the people from that time period. Some elements aged too good. Some are boring. I get it.

Still an interesting read, especially since it is short.
