A review by snapier
Burmese Days by George Orwell

5.0

As someone who rarely reads fiction (and when I do it's usually of the Soviet-era science fiction genre), I confess to having a soft spot for the works of Orwell.

This particular title was easy reading, and at times I was unable to put it down - something about the chaotic pace of the novel with Orwell's own opinions on empire and class breaking through the facade of Flory left me transfixed.
