Title: Excellent Book, Great Author, Pleases Many
Review: After reading several of Orwells other books, I had come to expect a certain degree of sarcasm in his works. Homage to Catolonia does not disappoint. Orwell succeeds in giving us a brief histroy of the Spanish Civil War. He also makes it readable.In Homage, Orwell explains to us how life was like serving for the anti Franco forces in Spain. He also tells us the motivations and the reasons for the fighting. It's important to note how his skills as a journalist aide us in learning about the history of the War.Overall, HtC will please many because of its satirical view of the War and its historical significance.
