My thoughts while reading:
-The ideas in this book are interesting but i really did not like the actual story or writing style. 

-This screams written by a man. Also disgusting towards women. 

In my opinion this is overhyped and I really dont like george orwell. 

-Yes the book is sometimes interesting but mostly it is boring and outdated. 
-This does not need to be as graphic as it is.

-This book is about how the whole world turned into a giant cult, features a spineless mc and doesnt make any sense in the interactions between people in it. The relationship with Julia didnt make sense at all and the relationship with O’brian didnt either. 

-A lot of big words and ideas but non are applicable. This is just opression and gaslighting. I just do not care! 

-This is probably the worst book I’ve ever read.

I completely understand why this book is a staple in the U.S., I understand the messages it hold, and I even see why people like it, but I did not enjoy the book even slightly. It is incredibly boring and drawn out. The author paints a tedious life through tedious writing and description. The only plus is how in depth the dive into the main characters thoughts and emotions is. I'm glad I read it, but honestly probably wouldn't recommend.

This book changed me. I don’t know if it’s in a positive or negative way, but it did.
