blue_04 's review for:

1984 by George Orwell
3.5
dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The ideas of the story are intriguing, and are just as relevant, maybe even more so, today as they were when published. I did however find the pase of the book to be a bit slow for my taste. Regardless, 1984 paints a beautifully horrific imagine of just how far corrupt governments will go if allowed. A cautionary tale that will lull you into a false security and then slam the cage door shut.
