A review by miyasam
1984 by George Orwell

dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

It's intended purpose appears to be a criticism of a communist, totalitarian police state. Ironically, now, it seems just as responsive and relevant to Western capitalistic structures. In the story, "The Book" shows another way to view current events.
