“Orwell called this a political "fairy tale", and I agree, and therein lies my problem with the book. It's just was not as compelling for me, as it would have been if more firmly rooted in reality, and even his immense talent could not quite save it. 1984 is his masterpiece, but this is somewhat hollow in comparison. ”
