1984 is one of my favourite books ever and genuinely one of the books that made me fall in love with reading across my very short life so far! I have read the original version and really need to get a copy for my physical library that I really like (trying to keep a similar editions theme going at some point!). The version on Goodreads of the Amazon audible adaptation with an all cast production isn't available (it is on Storygraph) and so I have chosen to review the original.
The casting and the narration is incredible - Tom Hardy as Big Brother is *chefs kiss* as well as Andrew Garfield, Cynthia Erivo and Andrew Scott taking the roles of Winston, Julia and O'Brien respectively.
I was so captivated in listening to these characters being brought to life through the adaptation and it really took me back to the original book.
1984 is a must read for all out there and really is an exemplar of how a book should be. It is a classic that has never lost its value and continues to be referred to even today and with no doubt it will be referenced for many more generations to come.
