“1984 is the expression of a mood, and it is a warning.” 

Read it just read it …

Maybe I should move to the woods away from everything, but they’ll be able to find me there as well.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." 

This book just blew me out the water. I was enthralled by everything that happened and every second I was just begging for more. The only reason why it isn't a 5 is more of a personal gripe. I wished the ending was a bit better, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I highly recommend reading this if you want to question your way of life and government.

Presté este libro y desafortunadamente no tuve el tiempo suficiente para terminarlo antes de devolverlo.

Me intriga mucho la trama, por lo que espero reponer mi lectura pero con una edición en su idioma original.

It was a very thought provoking book and very interesting to see how similar things have happened in the real world years after the book was written. The Stasi being very similar with the ‘telescreens’ and spying and though police. It was a very interesting read and not a happy book.
