An interesting story, and in some ways scarily believable! Feel like the second half of the story could have been longer though

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.
