I have not read that one. The only other book I've read of his is Animal Farm. Which we were required to read in highschool.
I didn't read Animal Farm in school but i did really enjoy it as an adult. Social commentary aside, i love the way Orwell tells a story. Even though you know the characters are doomed you can't help but root for them and have hope they'll be okay or even win in the end. Which of course makes the revelations all the more heartbreaking.
That's not something I had noticed when I had read them. But looking back I agree with your statement. Regardless, I really enjoyed both of those books.
