Interesting read - enjoyed it a lot more than I expected I would, great example of a dystopian but interesting based on soviet rule, unlike some of the more popular books in the genre. Feels quite sci-fi at times, and interesting to see the influence it has on later books such as 1984. A surprisingly fun read, enjoyed the translation by Clarence Brown.
