I can definitely say and see that this book being everyone's favorite makes sense. It's a great, unfortunately realistic view of what happens under totalitarianism, and, oh so not surprisingly, also happen to be a reflection of our own "modern society".
Saw the end coming from a hundred miles away, and still, managed to surprise me on the way it was written. Good to notice that the writing itself isn't the easiest, especially when you're not a native English speaker, and yet it remained a true pleasure to read this book.
Found it a bit slow at times, and if it made me think a lot, it's still not a world-shattering piece of literature, FOR ME ; which is why it's not getting the full 5 stars.
