    a unique fast read that will keep your attention the whole time...

    This has to be one of my favorite books of all time. I have read it a few times and it never gets old. You can get through it quite quickly as it isn't very long. Just a fantastic book that everyone should read

    I think if I had read this one before 1984, I would have enjoyed it better. However, I read it after and 1984 beat it so much I could hardly enjoy this book. I got to the last page and was about to regret reading it when I read the very last sentence. That line was enough to keep the book and put it down as classic and powerful.

  • When allegory gets this heavy-handed, you have to wonder if fiction really served the author's purposes best.
