When I first read this in high school, I gave it a 2. Reading this as an adult in today's society will switch a perspective around fast. I wasn't sure whether to mark it as slow or medium-paced given how quickly things escalate (in a very bad way) for Winston at the end. Either way, an absolute solid read.

Terrifyingly close to what today’s government is trying to achieve. This is an important novel, but it must be said that Orwell was clearly a misogynist.
