However, I did not appreciate the sexual content so would warn a reader of this. It is shown to be rebellion against the Party,
It is a sobering read, so I would recommend having that in mind. Not really an escapism novel to take your mind off reality- in fact it actually makes your more conscious of it in some ways. Honestly an invaluable read. Now I know why people say you should read it at least once in your lifetime.

Den Schreibstil und die Geschichte mochte ich gern. Es gab zwar auch viele Beschreibungen und wenig "zeigen" aber das hat mich nicht gestört. Christoph Maria Herbst hat das Buch einfach wunderbar vorgelesen (bis auf ein paar englische Teile, die doch sehr deutsch klangen).
Beim Hören des Buches musste ich öfters an Edward Snowden und seine Enthüllungen, die Möglichkeiten der heutigen Technik zur Überwachung oder auch China und Nordkorea denken. Es ist schon erschreckend, wie viel ein Staat kontrollieren und wissen könnte, wenn er wollte.

The book itself is a somewhat dramatised (hopefully) version of Stalin's Russia/Nazi Germany. It has so many layers to it, and I', still not convinces I've worked out just how deep the 'Party' goes in their propaganda, gaslighting, and plotting against its own citizens.
This is an incredibly well planned out (or perhaps the word is researched) and realised world, where even the bits that are fiction could very easily be real. That, I think, is the true terror of this book: How easily society could go from even today's status, to that found in this book. Thus, Orwell's intention to have this book serve as a warning was fully realised.

-The ideas in this book are interesting but i really did not like the actual story or writing style.
-This does not need to be as graphic as it is.
