Reviews: Nineteen Eighty-Four (45)
“Amazing book”
(Paperback)
It is an Amazingly written book and a very actual story. I read it multiple times and it managed to make me worry about something new each time. This book was quite a journey!
“Outstanding and timeless”
(Paperback)
This book is often quoted or indeed misquoted as the direction that our society has taken in recent years. The book itself stands as a harrowing tale of attempts to survive in a society that bears as much resemblance to a Fascist society as it does a Communist one.
I loved the first part and the second part and hated the third part. But this is not hatred for the story but rather for the masterful way that part of the book unfolded. WIthout that part this book would not truely sit as a classic tale in my judgement.
“1984 — A Powerful Wake-Up Call about Big Brother”
(Paperback)
Orwell’s 1984 shows a world where freedom is crushed and surveillance is everywhere. It’s a gripping, thought-provoking read that feels more relevant than ever. Definitely worth reading.
“Dystopian classic with strikingly original illustrations by MURUGIAH”
(Hardback)
Written by the visionary George Orwell and illustrated by the strikingly original MURUGIAH, this highly illustrated hardback reintroduces a dystopian classic for Young Adult readers. Set in a chilling world of constant surveillance and manipulated truth, the story follows Winston Smith as he quietly questions a regime that controls language, memory and even thought itself. MURUGIAH's bold, candy-coloured illustrations, threaded with South Asian motifs, add a contemporary visual lens that deepens the emotional impact and accessibility of Orwell’s warning. Themes of freedom, identity, power and resistance feel disturbingly relevant, encouraging thoughtful discussion and critical reading.

“give a very clear idea of the way we are all being manipulated”
(Paperback)
This book has opened my eyes to the way the higher powers use and it’s a very similar alignment to the way things are being run today by our government. Once you have that knowledge then you have more freedom to think for yourself and not become a minion. Read it and use your own mind.
