Such an intriguing book. The pacing is not the best but the novel is unsettling all the way through with nothing but the feeling of misery being present at all times. Absolutely incredible twists, traumatizng third act and an extremely haunting and thought-provoking ending that will leave you staring at the wall for 30 minutes after finishing the story. Wild that this could be our reality one day. Overall, an amazing but depressing read. Probably will reread it some time in the future.

Bears reading a few times - I have a new appreciation for some parts (and an ongoing dislike of some other inferences).

it was good. build up was nice, and the torture scenes are insane. very fascinating read

4.7, it was a good read but no straight man thinks of another like winston did of o'brien.
