The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury
4.0
This book, this collection of short stories which make up the illustrated man, manages to encompass the poignant reality of evolution in a beautiful and creative page-turner. So yeah, yeah it's really good.
1984 by George Orwell
4.0
Holy moly. I'm usually used to foreshadowing how a book's going to end. This however proved me so wrong, and I'm glad it did:)) This IS a masterpiece but what i liked more was the fact that Orwell made the plot, the characters, and the idea behind the world he's created so vivid, I found myself wanting to throw the book at a wall from all the hatred i had for "the party". This, this kind of literature will stay, and in decades from now after all the rubbish that we call books nowadays fade, this masterpiece will come to life again and again.
