1984 by George Orwell

challenging dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Full review is on my blog (https://www.bookycnidaria.com/nineteen-eighty-four).

Exactly as depressing as advertised.
