5.0
1984 is a dystopian book about a society where everything you do is monitored and all information is controlled. The book centers on the man character Winston who falls in love with a woman named Julia. The story manly centers on the aspects of the dystopian life he lives in and also the bleak and tragic love story between Winston and Julia. I loved this book and my jaw dropped at the ending. This is one of the bleakest dystopian books you’ll ever read, and I loved it.
Graphic: Torture, Sexual content, Violence, and Physical abuse
