State and Revolution

Very disappointed with this Kindle edition as it has some serious quality issues - for instance, a lot of paragraphs are not being finished proprerly: text is breaking up and you don't know if it cuts off the sentence and continues the same one in the next paragraph, or just cuts off the whole idea and jumps onto the next one..Amazon, please proof your books before selling them. I would have to buy a different version to reread the book.. Annoyed! (Pics attached)

I ordered the paper back version and it has a very nice quality cover, the print inside is very good and clear, the book arrived quick and on time with the only problem being a small tear on the back. Not sure if that happened during delivery or at the Amazon warehouse, regardless I'm not going to rate them down for it as accidents do happen and I doubt all their books are damaged. Overall its definitely worth the price!

As a piece of history it is informative, if you want to know more about Lenin then this is a good starting point. If you want to look good on the tube then the cover will do that for you too. If, however, your aim is to think about what you are reading and how it may still be relevant, or not, then this book is an excellent buy.

Personally, I didn't enjoy reading it because Vladimir Lenin is an extreme revolutionary which I fundamentally disagree with his whole interpretation of the Manifesto. Throughout the book you will be bombarded with extreme bolshevism, (Naturally). However as a historical piece of literature its a fascinating read. You get to understand the thought process of the extremists and their views. Self educating yourself to who and what transpired the bloody Russian Revolution rather than hide in ignorance to opposing mentalities because of mainstream fear mongering. In summary: An a controversial but interesting read. The actual literature is well edited and translated with only one typo I spotted.

This book is an interesting read. Lenin certainly seems to have a sense of humour when writing this, even if it is in the form of dry wit which comes out now and again, thankfully keeping this from growing too dry. There is no mistake that this is an academic piece, citing much of Engels and Marx, rather than a revolutionary pamphlet. For any scholar of revolutions, Lenin, or pre-1918 Europe, this is a must-read.It is not especially long and could probably be read in two sittings, whilst the book itself is fairly good quality and well-laid out.

Great quality book, no errors in printing or the text itself. A very good read for anyone interested in Marxism or who wants a taste of Lenin's analyses of historical events and other author's takes on Socialism.

Fab book and good value.

A fascinating glance into the thinking if the acclaimed revolutionary during that fateful year. His unwavering drive and passion for the revolutionary process are evident throughout. Essential.
