A review by alithea
1984 by George Orwell

challenging dark reflective tense
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

4.0

so it's basically painstaking slow-burn totalitarianism


- was so invested in the story and then the 20-30 pages of Goldstein's doctrine came up and I was so bored
- I knew from miles away that O'Brien would be a twist villain BUT MR. CHARRINGTON???? I've never felt so betrayed in my entire life
