Book Review: Animal Farm by Raidan Alaridi
I. Reviewer Profile
Name: Raidan AlaridiNationality: Lebanese
A Brief Bio: A science graduate with over a decade of experience in boring sales and discussions (just kidding, only half of them are). I enjoy the small moments where I read a book and escape to a different reality or trigger a mind-bending monologue, and occasionally enjoy one of the many wonders of the surrounding nature.
II. The Review
Book Title: Animal Farm
Author: George Orwell
The LILLICOM Score
L – Language: 5/10
Fairly an easy read which any reader can fully understand.
I – Immersion: 8/10
Apart from the ideology behind the book, the actual story is hard to leave without finishing.
L – Likability: 9/10
This book hints at a controversial subject so this rating is very subjective, but for me it hit the spot.
I – Impact: 8/10
You won’t go change the world after reading it, but it is a sure eye-openner.
C – Concept: 10/10
I don’t think I’ve ever read any book with such a clear yet very vague concept.
O – Outcome: 8/10
For those who do understand the ending, it does very much reflect reality at its best.
M – Messages: 9/10
While mostly hidden, they cover most of what the author intended and some that he didn’t as well.
Final Thought
I will forever remember this book. It is amazing how almost 90 years later, what Orwell tried to extract from a revolution, can be almost applied to many communities, governments, and corporate companies in today’s world.
