I loved the end. well. this is very... timely. I feel it. this book made me tremble in fear many times. help. it is based on the Russian revolution of 1917 for sure. the end is... even the pigs are betrayed. I guess. we'll never know the true end, but it is very timely. A world where animals work hours on end but are glad to do so. Well, this book shows the dangers of Stalinism, of generalizing a group of people, and how things can change from day to night. I had read spoilers before when researching, such as the windmill being destroyed being blamed on Snowball and animals dying, but still, though it might have been predictable after all the contradictions perpetrated by Squealer, I never could have felt that bad when pigs shook hands with humans. I felt helpless every single the animals were gaslighted, and Boxer, one of my favourite characters who almost died for being opposed to Napoleon once, effectively died at a slaughterhouse in Willingdon. The donkey knew. The other animals knew but were soon shut down. Memory made, memory forgotten. Every drop of sympathy seen from Napoleon, false. I wish I hadn't seen any spoiler, but as someone who hadn't read books in a while, this was a very good book. I took 3 days to read and a little over 3 hours. I'm feeling numb and helpless right now. Thank u... im still. Confused.
