The first half of the book is wonderful, an intriguing and intimate account of the conditions, lives and livelihoods of the working class in Northern England in the second quarter of the 20th century.
The second half is only half as engaging - Orwell presents a series of essays on class, technology and socialism. It felt like a lecture, though not a bad one. If this is what you expect and desire, then it there is more chance of enjoying it.
