Didn't feel that way. Animal Farm feels a lot like a set-piece to me. Like a fable or something. It doesn't feel like things just happen because that's the way life shakes out. (But also its been 10+ years since I read it).

Androids did not feel like it was trying to prove a point. It's full of little petty things just like real life--even though the petty things are actually quite fantastic.
