About this listen
"All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others."
Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges....
Tamsin Greig, Nicky Henson, and Toby Jones star in this new drama, part of BBC Radio 4's The Real George Orwell season - a Radio 4 journey that explores the disjuncture between the man who was Eric Blair and the writer who was George Orwell.

Very good
This was a very good listen and I recommend listening to this version. It is better than the other versions because it has music and sound effects. Whereas, the others don't.

Brilliant Tapes, Frightening Story!
I have read the book via iOS E-reader, and followed the instructions Effortless English Podcast which made by AJ Hoge. I just felt this audio book was easy to understand when I listened.
At first, I had expectations for the animals, cause they revolted the human beings, and finally lived the life with freedom.
Then, a little worried when the buck of milk disappeared, and that was the beginning of the wrong things.
After, more and more commandments had been broken, and I felt worried for the miserable animals, hatred for the ugly Napoleon.
Gradually, I felt lucy for myself, there were many characters occurred in the book has appeared in the history in different faces. The hard worker, the repeating machine-men, the propaganda, or the inspiring songs. It really works, and still works now.
I do not blame the animals stupidity, cause I am one of them.
By the way, BBC published an awesome audio drama again, and I love BBC!!!
I will work hard like the naive Boxer, and listen more audio drama.
Until next time, keep on WOW!
