A review by nikhedonias
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
4.0
"1984" by George Orwell gets four stars from me. It's a great book but feels a bit uneven in parts. The story is split into three sections, and each one feels a bit different.
In the first part, we learn about the world of Oceania and meet Winston, who doesn't like the government watching him all the time. This part sets up the story well, showing us a world where everyone is watched.
The second part focuses on Winston's secret love affair with Julia and how they try to resist the government together. This section is more about their personal feelings and less about the big picture of fighting the government.
The third part is when things get really tough for Winston. He gets caught and has to face the government's harsh ways. This part brings back the scary feeling of how powerful the government is.
Even though the story jumps around a bit, the ending is very strong and makes you think a lot about freedom and how important it is to stand up for what you believe in. Overall, "1984" is a must-read because it tells a powerful story about fighting against a world that tries to control everything you do.
