sophward 's review for:

Road To Wigan Pier by George Orwell
4.0

I have the biggest nerd crush on George Orwell and his magnificent brain. Part one of this book is a study of the poverty in working class Northern England after the Great War. Part two is largely about class differences in England and the difficulties facing the Socialist movement at the time. Not only is is intelligently written and well researched, it is possibly more interesting to read it living in today's society that it would have been in the 30s. Definitely worth reading and I hope to study Socialism in more depth soon!
