Anyone else wanting to go vegetarian after reading this book? I keep finding myself completely put-off eating meat at meal times remembering this read!
Was a bit graphic in places and I know it was describing what already happens in abattoirs with the meat we eat. 😢

I remember reading this book at school and just being horrified at what they did to Snowball and Boxer 😢
Re-reading as an adult I understood far more. Kinda wish I didn’t. It may have been written with Russia/Soviets in mind - but it still rings true. We still see the government corruption, media misinformation and exploitation of people all around us today.
Orwell had a great knack for describing corruption of power in his books.

An introduction to the SciFi genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Timeless plays, poems, and novels that shaped the literary heritage of Britain & Ireland.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.
A rare instance where both the films and graphic novel have merit. Either way you consume them, there are some politically uncomfortable bits that hit a bit too close to home in the UK right now (2025)!
Quite dark and depressing. The art style is simple, but effective combined with the storytelling.
I would say this is one to read at least once in a lifetime and paired with reading in early November is kinda cool.
