I've read this book several times, and it still hasn't gotten old! George Orwell gives you a lot of "what ifs" to think about. An excellent book that I would recommend to everyone!
A brilliant book, which was the culmination of George Orwell's experiences--as a British police officer in Burma, the lies and falsehoods he saw while fighting in Spain, Hitler, Stalin, and dictatorships of the 1930s, and even his miserable childhood in boarding school. Orwell creates a scary scenario of the future that could easily become the present. Together with Animal Farm, this is one of my favourite books.
Wow, totally not what I expected...storyline or from the characters. It made me thankful how we live today, as to me it seemed like living hell each day (and I am sure we all have our days where it feels like that here today).
Winston and Julia were an unexpected couple and O'Brien - enough said.
Intriguing situation at the end how Winston feels...as I don't want to give it away for those who have not read it ...yet.
When it was written we could barely imagine such a world. It's here, perhaps without a lot of the frightening aspects.
I have read this book twice and would not be surprised if I do again in my lifetime. Really thought provoking and a well written story. An excellent read.
