This book is a satire. Full of creativity as the author brings out politics in a humorous way. Good review.

By the title I had assumed that this is a children’s book. Political satire is not my genre. Nonetheless, thanks for your honest review!

I know what you mean. I hope the author gets those fixed soon.

The title immediately caught my eye because it reminded me of Animal Farm by George Orwell. As a history student, I adored Animal Farm and as an avid reader, I could appreciate the smooth pacing and tone that Orwell chose.

However, I am a bit reluctant to read Rainbow Farm because of the fear that it will not be on the same level as the work to which it alludes. I adore a good work of satire and colourful pictures are never a drawback, however I'm not entirely certain that this book will end up on my reading list. Perhaps a second round of editing might improve my perception.

I should mention that I loved the review though.
