Pensaba que viviendo en el siglo XXI nada me sorprendería de este libro, conforme lo leía pensaba: "ah, esto ya sucede", "a esto llegaremos dentro de poco", etc. Aún así, la tercera parte del libro me ha dejado tieso y roto y con  muy mal cuerpo. Jamás pensaba que un libro podría dejarme con tanto miedo y mal cuerpo, para mí es un libro político de terror.

não dei 5 estrelas porque há aspetos demasiado estúpidos, como

o início da relação do winston e da julia

, o orwell nem tentou

e fiquei chateado com o final.
