Reviews with content warning for Vomit - Nineteen Eighty Four: Anniversary Edition

This book is scary. There's not much I can say about it besides saying that it's scary and that I honestly think it should be mandated reading in schools... wow.

My thoughts while reading:
-The ideas in this book are interesting but i really did not like the actual story or writing style.

-This screams written by a man. Also disgusting towards women.

In my opinion this is overhyped and I really dont like george orwell.

-Yes the book is sometimes interesting but mostly it is boring and outdated.
-This does not need to be as graphic as it is.

-This book is about how the whole world turned into a giant cult, features a spineless mc and doesnt make any sense in the interactions between people in it. The relationship with Julia didnt make sense at all and the relationship with O’brian didnt either.

-A lot of big words and ideas but non are applicable. This is just opression and gaslighting. I just do not care!

-This is probably the worst book I’ve ever read.

it was just... boring. i mean it literally took me a year and some months to finish it. i understand how it's very influential but it's just sorta eh. i even skipped one or two tangents orwell went on because i really was not having it.

Painfully slow, dull writing. I normally enjoy dystopian novels but this one was just trying too har. Everything was for shock value, which ended up making nothing surprising. I find it ironic that the story involves sending a warning against scaring people into believing your political ideologies, but the author is a socialist and is advocating for socialism. The government claims to be socialist, but at one point it’s revealed it’s not actually socialist, and the only way forward is to become socialist. I don’t care what your political leanings are, there’s blatant hypocrisy by the author in trying to scare people into becoming socialist whilst advocating against scaring people into agreeing with your political opinions.

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.
