Some of the vocabulary used in this book was quite trick and old fashioned which might make this book more suitable for older or more mature readers. It is certainly not just a book about animals taking over a farm, but it was a very interesting read with lots of tension, action, and mixed emotions. Overall, I enjoyed the story, but I do not think I have fully understood the message. I did not like Napoleon and the pictures were drawn with such detail that you could see how much of an evil character he was.

This was a great illustration as there are so many characters it is hard to keep track of all the names.Īll the characters had such a range of personalities from hard-working Boxer to lazy, slacking Clover. My favourite illustration in the book was by far the double page spread in chapter one where all the characters were gathered in the barn. There are double page illustrations that pop up at key moments and this helps you get a better picture of what is happening in your head. I enjoyed the story, and I thought the illustrations were amazing because they were so detailed, and really brought the story to life. Illustrated plays & visual summaries of key titles. Modern-day translations & audio recordings of Shakespeares plays.
