George Orwell-1984

Orwell was one of those authors I was afraid to read.what if I don't get it? what if I spoil it?Then, one cloudy day, I took the book from the library and started munching on it. I couldn't help but study it, write down not only the funny quotes, but the deep quotes, or the descriptive quotes.

Now, let's detail the plot a bit. It all happens in a dystopic landscape, a communism that exceeds any boundary.It's here that Winston tries to break free, and try to find out what freedom tastes like.But The Party can't let him shatter reality as it is known.

Your opinion on the books can be classified as ante-1984 or post-1984.I can't recommend this enough

6/5!

  3. Its not a communist dystopia, even though George Orwell meant it to be a political commentary about communism. Just call it a dictatorship with absolute control over the people
