I am not big brain enough to understand this book. Not the subtle takeaways and themes that the story was alluding to nor the big picture thoughts that were hammered into the pages. I am unable to read a book and find its meaning. I like plot and that is what I am judging the book on.
Holy shit is this dystopia terrifying. The lack of freedom and the total control The Party has on its people is scary shit. I really enjoyed the third act of the book-- I've found that stories that prove hope is hopeless are my favorites and this book gave you no hope for Winston. Very glad I finally read this.
