Summary: Orwell's ordinary man
Comment: Coming up for Air is a refreshing look at life through the eyes of an ordinary, overweight middle-aged man. I wanted to comment on how the book made me think about how we should cherish those little things in life that we take for granted, it is an old message but this book made me realize it again. The plot is plain, no suspense or excitement whatsover, what the book does however is take you back to your own childhood and helps you think about those things that were important to you then.
There are many other issues that the book touches on, the escapism of some, the inevitability of change, the prison that is marriage etc...
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read something light and sentimental.
Rating: 2
Summary: Boring
Comment: There is a reason 1984 and Animal Farm are the famous ones this book is dull. It is the story of a man who first recounts his life before the war and then decides to take some sick leave and visit his old home. Most of the book seems to be devoted to fishing. It is sufficiently cynical but sometimes a plot is nice. Orwell should never use the Hemingway's style. Its not him. I looked all through the book and couldn't find a plot.
Rating: 5
Summary: Orwell at his best.
Comment: Away from philosophical dystopias to which he was intelectually unprepared, Orwell at his best, telling a desillusioned tale about the desperate British middle class of the pre-WWII years.
