This is a scary book. I can now clearly see how this masterpiece, along with his illness, could have quickened Orwell's death.

rating the novel is once again is pointless so i will only focus on how the plot was reconstructed, the art style and how much compatible it was with my imagination. to be honest i am writing the review a few months after reading so i might have forgotten some mistakes or omissions fido made, but now i remember that most of the plot was recreated well. the art style didn't satisfy me, some may say that it's plainity was a thought out idea to keep the brainwashing, making you more and more oridinary present as it was in the book and i must admit that charachters were really similiar to each other, but it doesn't change the fact that such concept was expected from the artist. honestly it's not how i imagined the characters, but i have to admit that it kept the idea the book was supposted to give out so i have no right to rate it way lower then i rated the original itself.

I've never been angry and scared of a book as much as this. It's super twisted one. The ending terrified me haha

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

"even when they became discontented, it led nowhere, because they could only focus on petty specific grievances. The larger evils invariably escaped their notice"
* superbly adapted; it maintained the overall vibes of the original without any sacrifice to content. the characters were very expressive and the color palette fit the industrial dystopian vibe perfectly
* not a fan of the ending being such a hopeless downer, but that's on Orwell

I’ve been wanting to read 1984 for years now, but haven’t picked it up yet... so I decided to try this version instead and... although the illustrations were on point, the story wasn't for me...

“His soul writhed with boredom, but at the sight of the words ‘I Love You’ the desire to stay alive had welled up in him.”

1984 es uno de mis libros favoritos, este comic en cuanto a la propuesta gráfica está muy bien, es un resumen completo y fiel; sin embargo, lo dejo en 4 estrellas porque pensándolo como adaptación, que el libro de Goldstein sean páginas y páginas de texto corrido no me gustó del todo...
