[ 5.0 stars ] "My bias is that I have been a long time admirer of George Orwell both as a writer and a socialist/humanist. At school in the late sixties both 'Animal Farm' and 'Ninteen Eighty-Four' were required reading. Even at 14, we got the politics of 'Animal Farm'.

[ 3.0 stars ] "The Orwell book removed some of my misconceptions about George Orwell. It was well researched anddocumented. Dry reading, but Orwell IS a dry subject. His concern for the common man is sharply silhoutted against hisdisapproval of both Hitler and Stalin. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 2.0 stars ] "Given Hitchens's reputation as a fiery, independent-minded leftist, I thought this book would be an interesting polemic against the invidious kinds of political correctness that have grown up in the post-soviet world, what Orwell called "smelly orthodoxies." Perhaps I didn't know enough about the political nuances of this, but the book didn't strike me that way in the end. Hitchens ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "I think in order to fully understand this book, one must read Orwell first. Only then will you know WHY Orwell Matters. Otherwise this might only come across as a biographical opinion peice from a brillant admirer. If you require more depth from your experince, seek out the perniant text. A fine addition to my book collection. ..." Courtesy by Amazon
