Pros

    Incredible story


NOV

I don't enjoy science fiction usually, but this story transcends the medium. Although dystopic fiction is abundant in literature and often quite good, 1984 is the cream of the crop and is a book that will haunt you at the finish. Since it's release, many terms from 1984 have become common words and phrases that you can hear every night on the news or as criticisms of somebody or just as adjectives used to spruce up someone's commentary. Even Orwell has become such a term. Although those words have their place in today's society, the horror of the reality that existed in the book makes those comparisons seem ridiculous. This book is one of the greatest ever written, but it also contains one of the most hopeless stories that has ever been put to paper. If the world ever really gets like this, we won't be able to pass comment on it.
