Query: Not a masterwork

This bit of capitolism bashing is not a bad novel, but if "1984" is worth five stars (and we all know it is) then this amusing, if somewhat forgetable, narrative can not be given half its status.Anyone who gave this book three or more stars should certainly re-evalute their opinion with the above paragraph in mind. Though, perhaps I have under-rated the book based on lofty expectations provoked by his latter work.Anyone who may have given this book five stars:Do you honestly think this first novel is the equal of a titan of literature like "1984"?It simply doesn't deserve the same status.
