Great read. Pretty short and easy, felt much more modern than the 70 years old it is. Hit on really interesting themes. It didn't explore some of them as much as it could have, but overall a thought-provoking experience that was enjoyable start to finish.

Finished this on the train journey from Aberystwyth to Glasgow a few weeks ago. Literally read the last page as we were pulling into Glasgow Central! Really liked this book, it totally exceeded (or maybe more accurately subverted?) my expectations and it’s still on my mind several weeks later.
