Loved it! August 24, 1998
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
1984 is a really horrifying book, but only if you know the principles of government. It's rather like Animal Farm in that respect. I read the book over and over, never getting tired of it, especially the near-ending. Parts of it are confusing: like, is O'Brien a good guy or a bad guy or what? The ending I found disappointing, but it would have been unrealistic for Winston and Julia to come out on top. I guess 1984 is supposed to show the harshness of totalitarianism and the fruitlessness of fighting against them. Overall, a good book, but not for the young or sensitive.
