mysteriousnorse 's review for:

The Road to Wigan Pier by George Orwell
4.0

This is a mostly great read. Orwell's depiction of poverty and his ultimate conclusion are fantastic. His visions of the future and grasp of Science Fiction seems less sound, though I admit it's been awhile since I read [b:Brave New World|5129|Brave New World|Aldous Huxley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1575509280l/5129._SY75_.jpg|3204877]. I also thought his picturesque depiction of a working class family that Orwell believes will be lost in 200 years to be a little overly romanticized. Despite these flaws, I think this might be an essential read for everyone.
