Honestly just loved this. It was so easy to read, I kept wanting to pick it up the entire time, and just overall captivated me. I loved Brave New World by Aldous Huxley so this is not a huge surprise, but I am so happy I finally read it.
Orwell's writing is beautiful and one can really feel how much he poured into this novel. I highly respect his effort and I will now recommend this book to everyone.

I'll be honest, I couldn't finish this book. It was too depressingly realistic.
