Picrel amounts to a far deeper and better executed exploration of power and language than what Georgie ever thought about writing in his life. I'll concede the Huxley idea is more original and accurate but the book itself is still YA-level, overtly explicit formula fiction just like the rest of the dystopias. There's a reason why the book market for teenagers is continuously filled with dystopias: it is a simple, monologic and superficial writing, that exhausts itself in a surface level reading. Entertaining at best. I make an exception for Clockwork Orange, that is usually paired up in here despite being a more than decent piece of narrative.

Anyone here read Augusto Roa Bastos' I, the Supreme? Always found Paraguay's history kinda interesting and was wondering if this book is worthwhile.
