honestly really good, the ending was quite provoking. as a character, winston's not very likeable and a bit bland at times but it's still really interesting to see his journey throughout the book. the author does a good job at keeping the atmosphere tense, which makes for a gripping read. but again- the ending, however dark it is, is the most memorable part of this.
