A witty, biting allegory. Fast to read, easy to understand, and meant to stay with you. The two appendices in this edition help to open up some of the text to readers unfamiliar with the political climate in which the story was conceived and written, which adds to its ability to be accurately interpreted by a wider readership.

Really loved it! I got attached to the characters really quickly. Didn't rate it higher because it isn't my cup of tea in terms of themes and genre but I would read again, especially since it was so short and manageable!
