About this audiobook
Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon

It is a good story and gives lots of life lessons. I did not like the way the audio was read on this verson. It was read by artificial intelligence and not a human. It was kind of like listening to a robot. Or Google translate. Annoying when he says "minus" every time there is a hyphenated word. It took me quite a while to figure out why the word "minus" was being used so much. A.I. is no replacement for a real human reading a book. Will not keep in my library. Spend $ on better read version .

Stupid (minus) computer (minus) voice (minus). Spend your money (minus) elsewhere.
About the author
George Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair on June 25, 1903 in Motihari in Bengal, India and later studied at Eton College for four years. He was an assistant superintendent with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma. He left that position after five years and moved to Paris, where he wrote his first two books: Burmese Days and Down and Out in Paris and London. He then moved to Spain to write but decided to join the United Workers Marxist Party Militia. After being decidedly opposed to communism, he served in the British Home Guard and with the Indian Service of the BBC during World War II. After the war, he wrote for the Observer and was literary editor for the Tribune. His best known works are Animal Farm and 1984. His other works include A Clergyman's Daughter, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, The Road to Wigan Pier, Homage to Catalonia, and Coming Up for Air. He died on January 21, 1950 at the age of 46.
