Contemporary reviews of the work were not universally po sitive. Writing in the American New Republic magazine, G eorge Soule expressed his disappointment in the book, wr iting that it "puzzled and saddened me. It seemed on the whole dull. The allegory turned out to be a creaking machi ne for saying in a clumsy way things that have been said b etter directly." Soule believed that the animals were not co nsistent enough with their real world inspirations.
Animal Farm
