Advice Received Is Animal Farm worth reading?

I wasn't allowed to ask this on any book-related sub, so here I am. I've been considering reading Animal Farm by George Orwell (jorjor wel), but I don't want to read it if it's not... good... for lack of a better word. I've just begun consistently reading so I don't really know much about literature, although I've read some classics and also many of Shakespeare's works. What can you tell me about the book without spoiling it? Can you rate it on a scale from 1-10 and explain why? I really want to make sure it's something I'm interested in reading because I only like to read physical copies of books, and I insist on buying my own copies of all the books I read, so, you know. All responses are appreciated!

It's a gross misrepresentation of communism penned by a snitch. Brilliant stylist though.

Indeed a gross representation of Communism in that it briefly worked. Communism never works at all.

I was born and raised in communism, but of course, Joe Shmoe from Kenfucky knows better.
