  • @SuperGraham17 Obviously an asswipe!

  • It should be on the National curriculum for all to read. I read it as a young man and now 40 years later have just read it again Great Book. Read and Digest !!!!

  • i was at college learning to be a carpenter when i said my point of view on the world when the teacher said "you are a socialist " and i said "what is that " he told me to read this book . it makes so much sense

  • changed my life. Peace Love and Guitars x

  • @SuperGraham17 You were "forced" to read it?

  • If everyone in the world were to read this book it wouldn't change ALL of them, but I believe it would change ENOUGH of them, lol. A great book.

  • The worst book I have EVER been forced to read

  • one of the best books I've ever read, it'll make you laugh! it'll make you cry, it'll make you angry, it will inspire you and give you strenth, I've worked on building sites all my adult life and all the people and arguments in this book are very much alive! the struggle goes on. Robert Tressell you were a genius with talent unmatched, everyone should read this book.

  • @melodharmony - it would be a great book to take (it's long enough). It is depressing though that a century later people are still as apathetic about there lives and living conditions. No you're right there was no New Labour then for all its faults Labour was a genuine working class party. Whatever happens in the summer I hope its members regain the party from the New Labour mafia.

  • @MrHistoryman45 the RTP no New Labour then just hard labour. This is a book I would take with me to a desert island, it is of course Dickensian in its telling.
