    Too much for me all to take in at once. I have to go back to it and re-read chapters as time goes by. Very clever bloke though.

  2. I liked Michio's enthusiasm and optimism when I've seen him presenting. I need to try this book.

  6. Good book !
    Honest , frank , and disturbing account of childhood poverty caused by the callous greed of the " ruling classes " , in this case , the mill owners .

    Made me think of the millions of nameless others who suffered the same fate
    but didn't write a book .

    Couldn't happen in this day and age .... ?

  7. It's already going on. One look at Rotherham tells you that.
     
  8. The follow on, well worth the read especially if you’ve invested in the first.

  9. The road to Wigan pier was widely misunderstood particularly by the people of Wigan.
    They thought Mr Orwell was mocking them, when in fact it was an accurate documentation or the appalling living conditions of the working class, as with Down and Out in Paris and London, also a good, go back to, read.

  12. Like all the best fiction, it has some factual content to make it plausible.

    The plot is a bit thin though.

  13. Yeah, it’s all unscrew this or tighten that,
    very predictable!
     
  14. Absolutely bobbins cover though!
