1984

"A must read! It was ahead of its time and surprisingly relevant in many ways to todays political climate. "

" This book was good, encouraging, eyeoprning, then horrifying. It is crazy how one can look at sociaty today and find similarities to the book. The thing is I love sad endings, but I need hope and love present. This book ended with the horror of a lost person who would never see the truth again, a broken soul with no hope or love. That scares me."

"This book left me speechless. Definitely a MUST read."

"I had to read this book for school and I didn’t love it but it wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever had to read. The plot definitely had some potential I just didn’t love the ending or some riskier subjects that it had. Overall I’d give it three out of five stars because it was sort of suspenseful and interesting."

"OG dystopian novel, all about big brother; the character are paranoid and devious and the plot is great. It’s overall not a bad book, but I will only ever read it once. "

"This book is supposed to be fiction. If you read it and look at our world today, you can tell it’s not really fiction 10/10"

"I loved this book❤️ The ending was disappointing (as in I didn’t want it to end that way, not that I didn’t think it was a good ending) but I liked it anyways. so sad"

"Loved it"

"dnf at 37% While I can appreciate what this book was trying to do, it over all wasn't for me. I had to read this for class otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked this up on my own. The story follows a man named Winston who lives in this dystopian version of 1984 where there is a controlling government that is always watching you. While I can appreciate and respect the importance of this book and why we had to read it, it was such a struggle to get into. I find when I don't care about the characters in a book, I don't care about the story. Winston is an extremely unlikable sexist main character. While I can understand you can like a book and hate the protagonist, this was a different kind of dislike. I couldn't sympathize with a man who said things along the lines of smashing a girls head against a brick wall and then sleeping with her. In a story about a terrifying world, I didn't feel for anything he was going through. The other characters were not really memorable besides maybe Julia. I couldn't keep on with what was going on as a lot of the story felt info dumpy. This book is creepy with thinking about how our world is today, however, I just couldn't care for it. I've learned I just don't enjoy classics but I can respect why they are so significant."
