I read this in the seventh grade, but reread it over the weekend so that I could discuss it with my son and help him prepare for his advanced English class. I forgot what an interesting book it is. While reading it, we also researched communism, socialism, Marx, the Russian revolution, Nicholas I, Stalin, and Trotsky, which made it even more interesting than when I read it as a kid. Literature holding the looking glass up to society -- gotta live it!

Terrifyingly relatable and realistic, like a Black Mirror episode. I see why it's still banned in North Korea and Vietnam. ...more

หนังสือเขียนมา 70 ปีแล้ว แต่ทำไมประเด็นในหนังสือเล่มนี้หลายเรื่องมันชวนให้นึกถึงประเทศบางประเทศจัง... (ก็ไม่รู้สินะ)

reread this summer, fun and easy, and really interesting to think about it within the context in which it was published, which was described in the foreword of my edition of the book (rejected by many publishers because of its controversial nature).
