I know it's a classic. I know that it's important and a reflection of the themes and sentiments of its time. But by the gods, was this a boring book. I've never hated any main character as much as I hate Winston. The plot is mediocre at best, the characterization is nonexistent or derogatory, the writing just goes on and on, and the symbolism is not nearly all it's cracked up to be. Read Animal Farm- still a showcase of Orwell's work, still full of resonant themes, but with half the pages and much better characters.

I've tried to read this book three or four times digitally, but now that I've read as ink and paper, I really liked it. The whole thing really feels starry and famous, and it sets the mood and tone really, really well.

This was a really, really good read. I picked it up when it was BSL's monthly read, and then I couldn't stop. I loved the characters, I loved the worldbuilding, I loved it all. This is a definite five-stars from me.

This was such a cute book! As a newcomer to manga and not the biggest fan of romance, I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.

This was part of my first foray into manga, and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the characters, and the story was entertaining, too. I'll have to look into finding more of the series. :)

I personally found this book less exciting than its predecessors, but it was nowhere near bad. It wrapped up this series with a solid, if somewhat predictable, bow.

I feel like a lot of the poems probably went over my head, but this book was enjoyable nonetheless. I did find this interesting, and I enjoyed the tone and layout.
