It's good if you're into working class life in 1930s(?) Paris, but that's pretty much all it is. I liked Homage to Catalonia a lot more
"Trust a snake before a Jew, a Jew before a Greek, but never trust an Armenian

You fucking moron.

Homage to Catalonia isn't anything particularly good either. If you have the edition with a bunch of essays, it's one mindnumbingly boring book so anyone with that edition is advised to stop reading after HtC.

Orwell respectfully wrote about those in poverty in Down and Out, Road to Wigan Pier, etc. He shows a lot of empathy, there's some very endearing and bittersweet elements in the book. Worth a read if poverty is a theme that interests you.
> tfw you will never stargaze with a homeless Parisian while he's drunk and you're looking for cigarettes
