A review by nov_ember
1984 by George Orwell

dark reflective tense medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes

5.0

Captivating, thought-provoking, and has very interesting themes, concepts, and world-building. The characters are unlikeable but realistic and human. The focus on controlling the mind and thoughts through language (Newspeak) was very interesting, and I even thoroughly enjoyed the 30 page appendix on it at the end.
