Animal Farm At It's Worst

I think the saddest and by far most disturbing part in the book is when Boxer, the hard working horse, is carted of to the "vet" to be slaughtered. This was a shocker, for a moment I thought Napoleon had actually wanted to send Boxer to the vet. But Napoleons cruel and selfish nature showed its face again and he fabricated a one way trip to the slaughter house as an unsuccessful recovery at the vet in Willington.

The sad part of it was that Boxer and the other animals realised what was happening and tried to stop it but Boxer was to weak to save himself. And that the other animals are sadly to dumb to believe what they heard from Squealer and not what they saw with there own eyes written on the side of the buggy that took Boxer away.

So far the book is okay and it is kinda cool how closely it relates to the Russian Revolution. It seems like the author, George Orwell, has his work cut out for him because the foundation of the story and the personalities of the characters is already written out in history.

I usually think of fables as children's stories but this book is different. Its take-off of the Russian Revolution seems to adult like to be a fable. This will be the first fable I've ever read so I'm willing to give it a shot and so far its going okay.
