I've just finished Animal Farm by George Orwell. Amazing book. I absolutely love the sarcastic way in which he has brought out the plight of the common man in the middle ages ... moving from one tyranic reign to another ... a revolution being nothing but a violent change of captaincy.
Another take to it is the age old saying; "Power Corrupts". However noble may be the intentions of a group, finally the forces of hate and jealousy always manage to create havoc.
Yet another take to it is the school of thought that a group can lead a team to success. This book illustrates the folly of this belief in great style, stressing the point that the leader is always one man/woman. To suggest that a group can lead is inviting disaster.
What strikes me most is the depth of the entire plot, and the way in which it has been converted to a great read for children.
If you haven't read the book, all of this is a lot of crap to you. So go read it.
