About this listen
George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel - a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism.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, however, 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. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell's masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

Story
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Story
Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth—or Minitrue as it is called in Newspeak—where he alters newspapers and reports to follow the arbitrary dictates of Big Brother’s propaganda. Beneath his outward conformity, however, Winston dreams of sharing his treasonable thoughts and breaking through the loneliness in which he lives. Thus he takes his first dangerous steps, writing a diary of his doubts and then falling in love with a woman of the Party, the beautiful and brave Julia.

Story
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

But I had forgotten many of its elements and features and wanted to have the experience again. I’m glad I did.
The story is as powerful as I remember. And so many of the details were fantastic to follow and study anew. The lessons to be learned and the historical analogues were clear and sharp. And the book was as relevant as the day it was written and the day I first read it.
I strongly recommend this audiobook. The narration is superb as well.

The voice acting was wonderful, unfortunately the editing was poorly done in chapter 7. Other than that the performance was great! I really felt the emotions of each character portrayed.
Great thought provoking story!

Even though it’s famously a direct commentary on Stalin’s rise to power and his totalitarian regime, you don’t need to know any history at all to enjoy the book; it stands on its own as a good scary story, with a genuinely terrifying ending.
If you are looking for a classic novel that is short and easy to read, Animal Farm is a good place to start.

The only thing that I would change is the few small tweaks to the editing. A couple times, the narrator spoke over himself while a new chapter or paragraph begin while the last one was still finishing.
That aside, the narrator did this classic story justice. Thanks!
Editing mishaps the only complaint!
