The Clarence brown translation is worse than the Mira Ginsburg translation. I found Clarence's version to be harder to follow and stay with the plot and even general happenings. I'd read (Mira) a few chapters then listen to the Clarence translation for a few and have to re-read them.
My review could be tainted by this, but I will say that this novel has moments of beauty that *might* have been better than Fahrenheit 451 but as a whole was less entertaining but more focused on the actual control aspect of people's lives (arguably Fahrenheit 451 is about different stuff than this book).
I'm glad the book was short.
Where Fahrenheit 451 almost at times becomes cringe or over the top in the message shoving, this book I'd say is much more subtle in some ways. Fahrenheit 451 has entire speeches where it's just like 'books good!' almost verbatim and this book had a different approach of 'math is beautiful but irrational numbers upset me'. More symbolism.
I think I would need to re-read this later.
