i read this for one of the classes I TA for, and i enjoyed it! it took a second to get into and understand, but after a while (and a TA seminar and MANY litchart inquiries) i got the gist :) i know this book was the inspo for 1984, and i can see why. also, this is my first translated novel i have read. yay!

Read this for a class I'm taking on Russian history. Really inspires me to read more dystopia. Something about this writing style intrigues and resonates with me.
