A review by kristianawithak
Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell

3.0

When I started reading Last Night at the Lobster (O'Nan) I decided people who have worked in restaurants should probably not read books about working in a restaurant. Listening to Orwell describe working in a hotel restaurant was amazing and charming. Perhaps it's the elapse of time that makes his discriptions seem poignant versus a contemporary explanation of what restaurant work is like.

I prefered being down and out in Paris more than the London parts, but overall it was a good read...hey that's the name of this site.
