Animal Farm

By: George Orwell

Narrated by: Benjamin May

George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel - a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism.The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

Great book, bad sound

The book was amazing and the narrator did a great job. The only complaint I have is with the sound. The sound goes from very loud to very quiet throughout the book, you have to continually change the volume setting even in a car.

Great thought provoking story!

I really enjoyed this story by George Orwell. Each event and the transitions/changes that took place on the farm really makes you think and question the work culture of society.
A very good read!
The voice acting was wonderful, unfortunately the editing was poorly done in chapter 7. Other than that the performance was great! I really felt the emotions of each character portrayed.

The fantastic story that describes humanity

The story reminds me of one of society in 2022. I understand that George Orwell wrote it as an allusion to the particular country in 1945, but it still fits somewhere today.

Must read for everyone

There were missing edits in the audio book performance. But overall, great.

The book needs no review. It’s a must read for everyone.

A Classic that Wears Very Well

I read Animal Farm many, many years ago. I had the memory of enjoying it very much and feeling that it was a true classic.

But I had forgotten many of its elements and features and wanted to have the experience again. I’m glad I did.

The story is as powerful as I remember. And so many of the details were fantastic to follow and study anew. The lessons to be learned and the historical analogues were clear and sharp. And the book was as relevant as the day it was written and the day I first read it.

I strongly recommend this audiobook. The narration is superb as well.
