I really enjoyed the first half of this book and how it flipped 1984 and provided a new perspective. The second half really dragged it down, especially the ending which is such a disservice to George Orwell's original masterpiece. I know people like hope, but sometimes you shouldn't give it to them - it ruined this book.
