Really enjoyed, it built on 1984 without ruining it. Wasn't 100% on the last part of the book.  But I flew through it within 3 days

Enjoyed this. Parts of it dragged a bit, but overall it was a great exploration of a classic from a different point of view. It helps I’m a fan of the original.

It's good, don't get me wrong, but I kept thinking that it could have been more. I found myself wishing to see what it might have been had it not been authorized by Orwell's estate.

ayant lu 1984 il y a déjà un moment, j’étais contente de mon replonger dans l’univers de ce livre que j’avais beaucoup apprécié. le roman se lit facilement, le ton est moins “austère” que dans l’œuvre d’orwell (de ce dont je me souviens)?
la vie des femmes sous le régime est un angle qui était pertinent d’aborder, même si, comme on s’y attendait, c’est pas la joie…
et au final, le roi est mort, vive le roi!
