Complicated
It is obviously an important book, at times it is an enjoyable book. The plot is extremely well thought out and executed beautifully. It can’t be an easy feat to completely build a horribly corrupt, evil, dystopian government/society.
That being said, it is so boring. Orwells writing drags on for so long, one thing that could be a few sentences becomes two pages and all of a sudden I am asleep.
That really is my only negative. It is a great story and there were many times that I paused reading just to sit and think about what I just read.
