A little too on the nose for me. This book seriously underestimates the intelligence of its reader, but wasn’t a bad read. Really short and easy to finish in a day.

While this book was fairly depressing it was a quick read.  The relevance of this was worth reading, it’s quite clear why it’s banned here in the U.S. so I highly recommend giving it a read.  As someone who doesn’t usually pick up classics this book kept my attention well.  It shows what it’s like to have blind faith into the systems that are supposed to help free you only for bootlickers and evil politicians trick the masses for their own selfish gain.
