3.0

First, I want to acknowledge the importance of this book and its status as a dystopian classic. However, I didn't quite enjoy it. I found the narration and how it reads very boring. Some parts felt like the author didn't want to create a plot so he just put pages-long monologues and retrospections to explain the world. Unfortunately, I read this book a while ago and can't remember my critique points besides that I found this book boring. I remember Orwell's writing being very dry.
