I could feel how Winston felt at the end - that dread, but also the relief.

Around halfway through the book I was like, this is just a cute little romance about two rebels. But,  the third part is just astonishing, I’m lost for words. Reading through Goldstein's treatise pained my soul, though.

Un livre fort intéressant ou rien ne se passe vraiment. Pas du tout ce que je m’attendais avant de le lire

La première partie consiste plus à expliquer le monde ou le Parti règne.
La deuxième, ces Julia.
La troisième, la défaite intérieure de Winston.
