To be fair I last read "1984" in high school so my recollection of the source material is almost non-existent. But this take on the story was very boring. Idk if I get how it's a "feminist take" maybe it's me... Anyway... I thought about DNF multiple times but I kept thinking maybe it'll get better. But alas that was not the case
