My grandma tried to get me to read it when I was like...12. Lol. But I never did. From what I've heard it seems interesting so may give it a go some time, in fact I think I still have the copy she gave me.
There is a local connection for me. George Orwell (real name Eric Blair) went to school in my town and the setting is based on a village on the outskirts of town.
I read it quite a few years back, though not for school. Really need to pick it up again. Have watched a TV film and the great 1956 Halas & Bachelor film since!
