If you've read Orwell's "Animal Farm" and found it a thought-provoking jab at totalitarianism, then "Snowball's Chance" might ruffle your feathers in the best way possible. It's a bold, satirical step that takes the premise into the realm of rampant capitalism and 21st-century conflicts. Picture this: an old tale refurbished to challenge our modern times, loaded with irony and dark humor. Can Snowball's return and his new order really make the farm great again? Read to grapple with the controversy and to see how John Reed reimagines a classic to critique our contemporary world.
