Reviews: Nineteen Eighty-Four (45)
“Incredible”
(Paperback)
This is so worth reading to give an insight on the world as it is now . Orwell is a man of creative and truthful wonder
“Absolutely essential reading”
(Paperback)
Stunning, very disturbing novel about the State with too much power over the individual. Written as science fiction in the 1940's. Widely viewed as a prescient warning for the present day.
“Big Brother is always watching”
(Paperback)
1984 is a book I have always wanted to read but have never gotten around to. The world in 1984 is a terrifying place, and looking at the world around us, I found myself with a sick feeling of what was happening to these characters.
Like Winston and Julia, I found myself hoping that they would escape. That they would live and love freely. That there was a rebellion. But O'brien helps bring an end to that and he was written in such a way that had me terrified. I felt every emotion reading this book and while I felt so horrified and defeated with the ending, I was consumed with this adrenaline rush of urgency of feeling like I just had to do something! I don't remember the last time a book made me feel like that. And with seeing now our real world is shaping out currently - books like George Orwell's 1984 feel even more important to read now more than ever.
“Amazing book”
(Paperback)
1984 is honestly one of the best books I have ever read! It really changed my view of the world and is a book I feel everybody should read at least once in their life. I highly recommend it to everyone!
“Fantastic”
(Hardback)
This book began my love for reading and now I have read it about 10 times- its an absolute must read for any book lover and this edition is wonderfully suited and durable.
