It will be fine. Most Brits are comfortable with the poor quality of Orwell commentary from over the pond. American Orwell fans mostly don't even read his key novels like Keep the Aspadistra Flying, just his juvenile science fiction stuff.

I think my favorite part of the book was when it just turned into reading the political thesis on the essence of oligarichal collectivism or whatever it is.
