"I'm still finishing it but I can already say that's it one of my favourites from Orwell.
The first half of the book describes the lives of labours so vividly, that I couldn't stop reading. While the rest really exposes economical and political situation in Britain and Europ in XX century. His style may not be as touched up as in his later, more acknowledged novels, but still fasicnates. Definately worth reading."
