Animal Farm took me one afternoon and stayed for years

It's about a hundred pages long and it looks like a children's book. We read it in school and I thought it was just about Russia.

It's the horse, Boxer, that gets to you. He works harder and harder and trusts the people in charge, and you can see where it's going long before he can. Since then I've worked in a couple of offices, and I've met Squealer in both of them.
