Two plus two equals five stars.

Amazing premise, obviously imperfect in some places but nevertheless enjoyed the pacing and characters.

Double plus good!

Bone chilling. The last four words are like a gut punch. Not a lot happens plot-wise but that's okay because the world is just so intricately woven and expansive, and leaves very little untouched. Incredible read that will make you contemplate for hours. So many concepts are introduced that very well exist in the real world that one wouldn't think to notice or be able to put words to, and this book puts words to it.

A great book but clearly written by a man. 1984 had me feeling nauseous, anxious and spiral into philosophical discussions with myself. Not sure why exactly but it really got a visceral reaction out of me every time I picked it up. Mostly the ending had me in a choke and I needed to take a break between some chapters to continue forwards.

Pensaba que viviendo en el siglo XXI nada me sorprendería de este libro, conforme lo leía pensaba: "ah, esto ya sucede", "a esto llegaremos dentro de poco", etc. Aún así, la tercera parte del libro me ha dejado tieso y roto y con  muy mal cuerpo. Jamás pensaba que un libro podría dejarme con tanto miedo y mal cuerpo, para mí es un libro político de terror.
