The breadth of his research is impressive (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e), drawing on a close study of the new edition of Orwell's \u003cem\u003eComplete Works\u003c\/em\u003e, personal interviews, and unpublished material in London's Orwell Archive. Meyers's briskly paced, absorbing narrative...offers keen insights (\u003cem\u003eBoston Sunday Globe\u003c\/em\u003e) on Orwell's intellectual development, as well as his human failings--his childhood insecurities, his political dilemmas, and his conflicted relationships with women. Leagues in front of Orwell's previous biographers, Meyers convincingly demonstrates the essence of [Orwell's] character (\u003cem\u003eDenver Post\u003c\/em\u003e), revealing a much more helpful and believable portrait (Paul Theroux).
