I really admire the way that Orwell describes the scenes running on the ground in a kind of novel, the miracleous difference in this one is that it's pretty early description for his future and our very present. That's considering Orwell. Considering the novel itself it's great but the end is disappointing I don't know, maybe the reality is the disappointing thing.

I liked this quote, it's an accurate description maybe for all parties around;
"Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense."

Orwell tem umas quantas conceções trocadas e bem trocadas, mas nada que não se reedite com o recurso ao duplopensar.

It felt like the book had no idea what it wanted to do for a large middle chunk of the book. But here's some guy and a girl together to distract you from that. Question: what do I do to distract myself from this guy and girl? Skim through the book I suppose. Not like there's a fast forward button.
