What a rip-off
Err..this isn't 1984. It's a watered down edited waste of printing paper. Either someone is intelligent enough to read and study this book or they aren't. And amazon should really make it clear that this isn't the entire book. I bought it and was severely disappointed and obviosly ripped-off. As I couldn't find the invoice I just had to chuck it away. BUY IT AT YOUR PERIL...

Fools
Fools!

These books are designed for adult learners of English, or those seeking to improve their basic skills*, so ignore all the fools who have reviewed the book on the site. They are abridged for this purpose only.

The reviewers are not being clever!

*The stats on adult literacy are shocking in the UK.

Absurd
Everything about Orwell is to do with simplicity and clarity. The idea of 'simplifying' this text is absolutely absurd.
