While this is definitely not the classic Animal Farm, this short little allegory presents quite clearly how liberty and freedom get diluted then distorted by the use of language that tries to manipulate "we the animals" by their leaders. The only thing that would have improved this little gem is if the first half of the book had been condensed and the second half had been expanded. It all comes to an end so furiously and quickly that it leaves the reader questioning just how this could have happened so fast. Perhaps that is exactly what the authors intended in this too-true cautionary tale.
