I found Down and Out a bit annoying in lots of ways, I couldn't help thinking of that line from Common People "if you call your dad he could stop it all."
It's fine when it's more investigative and reporting on conditions that most people would have had no clue about - but also quite irritating at times.
If you want to be irritated even more by Orwell, Keep the Aspidistra Flying has an even more infuriating and self-denying main character, and an unbelievably tolerant love interest.
