dropout 's review for:

1984 by George Orwell
4.75
adventurous challenging dark inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Great idea which is still relevant today. Storytelling and characters not very deep or literary. But that just clearly wasn’t the intention of the author. He prioritized the lesson this book is supposed to teach over making it pretty and that is in a way the beauty of the book how raw and ugly it is. The writing style still made it a little hard to get into it and some passages were not very interesting to read. Allover still worth reading and would clearly recommend to every adult.
