I revisited this book almost 40 years after the first time I was assigned to read it - in the year 1984 - when I was in 8th grade. I've changed since then and so has the world. I listened to the audio book, read of course by an author with a British accent, and was gripped by how much the world today is like the universe which Orwell creates.

This book is not what i would typically read, however it was alright. I found it to be waht i would say boringly intresting. This is a pretty absurd book. The things happing in the book is a much more abusert way of thing that can/ is happing today. I have my thieris of things happening in the book. I wish i never got the answers to with is pretty facsinating. I would say that as a book it self i would rered it, mustly becuse of the language and how long it would actually take me to read it. But i do find the stroy intresting and therefor it can be a book that i happen to reread in the futrere as it is always going to relevent book to our world today. This book was sliglhty difficult to get through, the majority of the book i lisend to it with aduio while following  in the book, If it werent for that i would probebly use a long time to finsih it. I was also slightly demotivatet to read as it was a book for english, and i had to read it. I do recomend this book.

Why is this highly esteemed? It’s a dark, twisted look into to the mind of the author that I just did not need. I’m not sure if he’s trying to convince us to become atheistic communists or fascists. Either way, the solutions to overthrowing the Party were almost as bad as the party itself. 

I just wasted 12 hours of my life. I wish I had a Time Machine.
