Why do I like it? Because it's not dark and angsty and all emo and depressing.
But hey, if that's what you like in your books, then suit yourself.

Yeah, I am more into darker atmospheres at the moment, so cya later aligator.

Giraffe by J.M. Ledgard. It's a more realistic novel with animal protagonists (Giraffes). It's absolutely heartbreaking and very beautifully written.

Animal farm.

This; it's pretty decent, actually. I usually detest classical literature and allegories, but this one is definitely worth reading.
Yeah; I don't drop by general often. And game dev is fairly dead. So you don't see me much

it does surprise me that no one has mentioned it yet, hell i'm a tad suprised i didn't mention it right off the bat.
All I've read and enjoyed are Animal Farm and the two by Jack London that Xeno posted.

Blech, Animal Farm. Overstated and oversimplified look at how socialism takes over a society. Students are better off studying the subject directly since it's infinitely more interesting to see how it happens (and continues to happen) in real life rather than just a bunch of pigs dicking around. Not to say that it's not an important book, but for the layman there are better ways of approaching the subject. Maybe I'm just biased to the fact that in history it's already happened to actual, living people and has been studied well enough that an average person can pick up a book and see very clearly how it happens. No cartoonish animals necessary.
But then again I could just be being an elitist right now. Kick me if I do it again.
Edit: and somewhat related to Animal Farm, I find Nineteen Eighty-Four to be ridiculously overrated. I explained it here: http://www.onrpg.com/boards/155613-p...2/#post2185376

Dunno, was bored to post.
Animal farm is a pretty nice book.

I am not really interested in Animal Farm.
Finding a book that suits my taste is quite difficult :S..

Yeah, it's not really what you were looking for, anyway.

I just want talking animals (As in animals who talk with each other).. a dark story, murder, struggle, etc etc....

This.
And to Xeno, it seems we have a disagreement, V-Bear. I enjoyed both 1984 and Animal Farm.
I know plenty of darker stories, but none with animals.

Is it that good?
My mom checked it out at a library for me to read but I never did.

Just because you enjoyed them doesn't mean they were as good as some people make it out to be.

Redwall has a war, starvation, an evil ruler who the hero must slay. It's not like a murder mystery/barroque esque writing but it's violent enough for you I think. Plus it's got some good action scenes. Just buy it, it's like 10 dollars (:
