1984 by George Orwell
2.0
dark reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Literally the worst book of the year. Definitely my least favorite classic. There will be a good amount of interesting world building, talking about totalitarianism, hyper-nationality, privacy, etc., but then, out of nowhere, will be some of the misogynistic comments you will ever hear. What the actual fuck? I just can't overlook that. Am I reading the same book everyone raves about? This is crap! Read Brave New World and Saha instead. Also, what infuriates me to no end is how Julia is written! She's nothing like I heard, and why on earth would she be obsessed with Winston? Fucking men writing women crime.
