A classic dystopian novel that challenges the morals of the individual who reads it. It leaves you wondering whether reality has hope, and has you questioning your own obligations to yourself and to the world around you. How true can most of this be? I immediately thought of how sad and depressing the world that Orwell has created is, and  how closely does it actually resemble the world we live in? A great read, the ending however left me in a state of despair, I felt that I myself was being tortured. Exciting read, a lot left to be deciphered by the reader and a grim peak into what could become of our society if we do not remember the courage of the human spirit, and accept all the intellectual flaws and dillemas each of us strive to understand.
