Orwell's writing is beautiful and one can really feel how much he poured into this novel. I highly respect his effort and I will now recommend this book to everyone.

This book just feels all over the place in a few ways, especially in its pacing. It didn't feel well-rounded or expertly crafted, more like Orwell had a bunch of ideas he slapped together for an excuse to publish twenty pages of grandstanding right in the middle. Yawn.

Absolutely astonishing. What a star casting too! I loved Romesh’s Parsons, but also thoroughly appreciated Cynthia’s Julia too. The Andrew (Garfield and Scott) casting obviously was a winner.
5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
