The book would get 5 stars if it weren't for rehashing and the veiled 20th century-modern political statements behind it. It would have been a better story had it not made almost outright, almost offhanded connections to the real politics of the day and remained in its own theories.

Follow Winston as he discovers what is wrong with his society, rebel,
Such a thought provoking book that I will not forget for a long time.

only to return right back to his submissive state. So many thoughts on the Ministry of Truth and how if you edit something so much and do not preserve the past then what even is real or a fact. The rebels being part of the state/big brother and causing thoughtcrime to then convince people what they should believe.Such a thought provoking book that I will not forget for a long time.
