A bit disappointing to be honest. It really hammers on the whole brainwashing conceit in a way that for me removed any sense of mystery or suspense and the improbable full-circle structure taking us back to where we started is very heavy handed, killing my sense of immersion. It's well written and no doubt more effective at the time your feels very blunt and dated now.
