Nineteen Eighty-four: A Novel

I liked parts of the book, but then other parts were not that great. As a whole, very average, but I would still recommend reading it.

In the novel 1984, the author George Orwell takes readers into a hypothetical world that could have become a reality if the outcome of the second World War had been a totalitarian takeover....

I was a little apprehensive about this book at first because it is so old, but once I got into the main story line, I was actually surprised at how realistic the book was, even though it was written in the 1940’s. I did however find that it took almost 200 pages to even get the main plotline of the story started, and it was only in the last 50 pages or so where it really became a page turner. All in all, it was a pretty good book, and I want to look into reading more of George Orwell’s work.

The novel took too long explaining the setting and characters instead of the story. While the author explains the setting, the reader looses interest. The more I read, the more boring it got. The more ... Read full review
