1985 by Anthony Burgess
1.0
Uhhh.
Burgess.
Despite hearing bad things, I did enjoy the start. I didn't agree with some of the stuff you were saying, but I found it interesting, at the least. And then it got worse and worse. Finally, I felt as if I was simply just reading propaganda, which you were attempting to hide by talking about 1984. But I kept going because I thought when I get to your short novel at the end titled "1985", I would enjoy it, as I did, on the whole, like A Clockwork Orange.
I was wrong. More lectures, more strange characters blabbing on about workers and socialism. I can't say I enjoyed it in the slightest. This has mostly killed my respect for you, sorry.
