Great classic! I struggled a little with the “slang” at first, but quickly picked it up! An interesting look at human nature and our ability to change and reform… the inclusion of the original final chapter changes the mood of the book (for the better!)…

I was annoyed in the first part because I picked this up as a quick read not knowing I'd have to translate from a fictional slang language...but it started making sense and became very interesting and delved into lot of deeper meanings. Also...let's talk about how unsettling it is to read old dystopian books that have close parallels with present day!

Hard to follow because of the Russian slang, was quite boring too and obviously no character was likeable.

3/10
