kojarzycie te książki, które was połykają, potem wypluwają, połykają po raz drugi i trawią was aż w końcu czujecie się zdruzgotani? to jest jedna z takich książek
wizja takie antyutopijnego świata jest przerażająca, ale tak świetnie opisana że wydaje się jak najbardziej prawdziwa
kiedy nauczycielka historii pożyczyła mi tę książkę, to myślałem, że to będzie kapitalistyczna propaganda
oj, jak ja się myliłem
książka porusza bardzo ważne tematy, jest napisana przecudownie
ja pochłonąłem ostatnią jej część w jednym siedzeniu, a podczas punktu kulminacyjnego (jeżeli przeczytał*ś książkę, to wiesz o jaką sytuację chodzi) dosłownie dygotały mi ręce
bez wątpienia lektura uświamiadająca wiele spraw i zmieniająca pogląd na wiele spraw
5⭐ /5

chociaż boję się, że ta książka straci na znaczeniu, bo stała się lekturą szkolną ;///

The concept was good but the implementation was lacking...
I probably would have enjoyed it if it hadn't been written by Orwell
I read it a second time for my A-level and surprisingly I liked it even less. As for now, I would only give it 2⭐ My criticism from the first time reading it still holds true for me but the second time it felt even more annoying and repetitive...
The plot could be summarised with only a few words
Winston: all women bad, government bad too
Julia: I love you
Sex
Talking about rebellion
More sex
Even more sex

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strenght.
I don't think there is much I can say that has not been said - "1984" is a classic which deserves its status. My only issue was the middle part of the book. The inclusion of excerpts of Goldstein's book was a jarring addition that, in my experience, took the away from the story and disturbed the overall pace.
