Somewhere here in between these city walls of dying dreams.
1984 by George Orwell
1/5 -bad
dystopia, adult fiction
Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell's narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

Not really for me. Where's the action, where's the romance? I wasn't satisfied with the realization that the world should not be like that.
I didn't like the excerpts from "the book" either. That was just boring to me, and I thought about just skipping it.
I didn't like Winston. I never really connected to him in any way and I didn't really believe his opposition against The Party.
I really didn't like Julia. How she just all of a sudden decided that she loved Winston, how she didn't care to rebel and work toward a better future, she was really just annoying.
