‘A prophet who thought the unthinkable and spoke the unspeakable, even when it offended conventional thought’ Daily Express
‘Brilliantly constructed and told’ Guardian
‘There is not a smile or a jest that does not add bitterness to Orwell’s utterly depressing vision of what the world may be in 35 years’ time’ TIME
