Orwell’s stark portrayal of working-class life is powerful and disturbing. It’s a must-read, though some parts were tough to get through. A bit lengthy too.
Saurabh Singh –
This book really made me think. Orwell’s writing is so powerful and evocative. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in social justice.
Shubham Pathak –
Important book. Orwell’s account of poverty is very compelling. Can get a little dry at times, though. Good read overall.
Navya Mittal –
Disturbing and thought-provoking. Orwell doesn’t hold back in showing the grim realities of the working class. Some language is of its time and can be jarring.
Dhanush H B –
Important, but hard to read due to subject matter. Orwell does a great job depicting the living condition of poor in the s. Overall good read.
Akritee Prasad Kharwar –
A brutally honest account of a dark period in history. Orwell doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Prepare to be shocked, saddened, and inspired.
Roshan Kr Barnwal –
I can see why this is a classic. The first part is powerful. The second part, with the socialist theories, didn’t grab my attention as much.
Nikhilesh –
Changed my perspective on social inequality. Orwell’s descriptions are vivid and unforgettable. I feel like everyone should read this.
Prashant –
A valuable historical document, but a bit of a slog to get through. Orwell’s writing style can be dense at times. The subject matter is important, however.
Shinjini Roy –
A classic for a reason. Eye-opening look at poverty in s England. Orwell’s honesty is both admirable and heartbreaking. Some descriptions are repetitive.
Rohit Raghuji Ambavane –
It was ok. I learned a few things, but not my favorite book. I thought it was a little boring. It could use some editing.
Aniruddha Khohwal –
A bit depressing, but necessary reading. Orwell shines a light on the forgotten. I didn’t agree with all his solutions, but his heart was in the right place.
Urja Parmar –
Important social commentary, but Orwell’s own biases occasionally peek through. It makes it hard to fully trust his observations, though the book is good overall.
Amaan Iqbal –
Eye-opening! It is hard to believe some people lived like that. This book made me thankful for what I have. Stars!
Charu Apan –
Found the first half fascinating, the second half (Orwell’s socialist musings) less so. Still a worthwhile read for its historical context.
