On Coming Up for Air, by George Orwell

A minor miracle in places. In others, Orwell's narrator is amazingly prescient on economic facts and class status for a contemporary reader. However, the book is uneven and some of the protagonist's/narrators actions are unbelievable. Overall, this book is uneven, but even Orwell's unevenness is quality enough to read.
