Burmese Days

Review:

Outstanding novel of British Colonial Burma.

All the protagonists are thoroughly dislikeable.

Gin soaked, heat baked, pathetic lives playing out in a dirty, remote hill station in Burma’s jungle.

Once again Orwell proves to be the voice of conscience for the 20th century.

SImply an amazing piece of writing, yet it is never much talked about, read, or even quoted.

I award this the rare and coveted Neilosian 5 stars.

This book made me want to: find words that rhyme with Mandalay.

Overall rating:

Other: Gin dryness
