A review by cassiakarin
1984 by Xavier Coste, George Orwell

4.0

Yep! A first time read for me. I didn’t get this one in high school. Well, I didn’t go to high school, but that’s another story… I hardly need to review this book because it is so well known, but I will tell you that it definitely impacted me. There are themes in this book which have threads tied and knotted all throughout the life that I know and experience, and this book has helped me identify those threads. The concepts laid out about defining and redefining language in order to formulate and control people and their thoughts were very powerful to me.
