Concluding animal farm

Animal Farm, in my opinion, is all in all a pretty good book. Reading from cover to cover i'd say it was worth it. In some parts of the story I was confused as to why power was and is so important to some people. Some of the details of the book made me feel for the animals which shows it's written well. I didn't like how abruptly it ended but the moral of the story is great. After reading beyond chapter 1, the farm goes crazy. The pigs try and overtake the farm and the other animals do nothing about it. Some of them are murdered for their opinions or run off of the farm. All the rules change and all in a matter of weeks. The quote "Only the strongest will survive." Does not pertain to this story, as any animal can be removed or killed for just a slight slip up. Trading with the humans begin as they slowly start to come back into the farm. All of Old Majors rules are either changed or gotten rid of and only one opinion is heard, no matter what. That opinion is comrade Napoleon the pigs. This however will condemn the farm almost entirely. It ends pretty abruptly, I almost wish there was a sequel.
