After Animal Farm, I can't wait for his next hilarious review of another literary classic!
Should he stay on the theme and go for 1984 next? That would be interesting! Anyone else got any suggestions for Ben's next Book Review???????? |

He didn't actually review it though, did he. He summarised it and gave a basic interpretation. That's not a review. Leastways I didn't hear him stating a critical opinion of the work or analysing its merits. Maybe I missed that bit.

I was being sarcy and started the thread because his summary made him sound like he was describing the Beano as it was sooooooooooooooooo far away from what the book was about. Maybe he'd just seen the dumbed-down cartoon movie version pr maybe he's thick |

Nah I don't recommend any books to anyone. Everyone knows that they only broaden the mind and encourage creative thought. Just watch the telly instead - you might get to see people shouting at each other.

FWIW I think Ben actually did a brilliant synopsis... until JJ's pea brain couldn't take any more and cut him off.
To be fair, I think JJ actually tried to listen but his face began to look like a sucked lemon as he ran out of attention span.

Yeah - it was a well dumbed down version (consider his audience) - but he was basically spot on.

OK aboves - he was trying to explain it in simple terms to simpletons - I accept my above post was wrong. I was not getting at Ben FGS
1984 would still be my Book for him to explain! They think "Big Brother" is just a Reality show dreamed-up by Endemol in the Netherlands in the late 1990s If ben says 1984 - they wouldn't have a clue Last edited by Claymores; 25-06-2010 at 01:30 PM. |

He actually did a pretty good summary of the book. Only trouble is, the book is extremely bias and was written almost as an insult to the current government at the time - so it really isn't a great 'pro elitism' arguement, since it was written by an elitist. I'm sure Ben realised this, he just hopes the others were too stupid to (which they are)
