It is a short to-the-point political warning. Have you even read it or have you just seen how thin the spin is? The length of a book has very little to do with it's content. I'm not sure if you're just insulting the book or just me or George Orwell too. I would hardly call 1984 "junior high level literature." So obviously, our Mr. Orwell knows perfectly well how to write higher level writings, but didn't chose that style for Animal Farm. If you honesly believe that something must be complex and use big words to be a work of art and have a very real and important message, then kindly pull your head out of your ass.
