Whereas 1984 has parts that can be tough to get thru for some, Animal Farm is easy read, start to finish. A kid could read it, but perhaps not get the whole point. For me, it was similar to reading Vonnegut, you can feel(for lack of a better word)the intelligence while reading the simplicity. More @Wikipedia

- Thoughts on Animal Farm (George Orwell)? : r/books - RedditAnimal Farm is a polemical allegory outlining some of the major events in the rise of Stalinism.

- What was the relevance of the cat in George Orwell's Animal Farm?The only time she votes, she picks both sides. She seems more intelligent than most of the other animals (excluding Benjamin and the pigs, of course), but doesn't really use it except for a failed attempt to get the sparrows to come to her. The most she does for Animal Farm is participate in the Battle of the Cowshed.
- What are your views about Animal Farm by George Orwell? : r/books - RedditAnimal farm is more than anything a criticism of authoritarianism and more specifically a criticism of Joseph Stalin.

- What should I read? Animal farm or 1984? : r/booksuggestions - RedditAnimal Farm is an allegory, with many layers of metaphor and symbolism, so it takes a bit of analysis to fully absorb and understand. 1984 is still very complex in the thoughts and ideas it provokes, but the message it's sending is a lot more straightforward and a better place to start in my opinion.
