My thoughts while reading:
-The ideas in this book are interesting but i really did not like the actual story or writing style.

-This screams written by a man. Also disgusting towards women.
In my opinion this is overhyped and I really dont like george orwell.
-Yes the book is sometimes interesting but mostly it is boring and outdated.
-This does not need to be as graphic as it is.

-This book is about how the whole world turned into a giant cult, features a spineless mc and doesnt make any sense in the interactions between people in it. The relationship with Julia didnt make sense at all and the relationship with O’brian didnt either.
-A lot of big words and ideas but non are applicable. This is just opression and gaslighting. I just do not care!
-This is probably the worst book I’ve ever read.
