timmyr 's review for:

1984 by George Orwell
DID NOT FINISH: 21%

This book is well ahead of its time, but these days and both too well-trodden and on the nose. Couldn't feel much of anything for the characters and Orwell's (or the 1940s?) casual misogyny was a sticking point. This book is fully baked into our language and culture and seems to be the roadmap for every dystopian story ever since.
