One has to wonder if George Orwell foresaw the future destruction of America while penning this timeless classic. Supposedly a satire of Stalin era Russia, Animal Farm could just as easily had been written about George W. Bush's reign of terror. This book paints a terrifying visual of what happens when power gets into the hands of the corrupt and dishonest. Lessons of patience, naivete, and trust are masterfully explored. Animal Farm should be required reading in schools across America. An "A" all the way!
