War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strenght.

I don't think there is much I can say that has not been said - "1984" is a classic which deserves its status. My only issue was the middle part of the book. The inclusion of excerpts of Goldstein's book was a jarring addition that, in my experience, took the away from the story and disturbed the overall pace.
