A review by alphadesigner
1984 by George Orwell

5.0

What I missed while reading this book was a simple smile. It's dead serious from start to finish. I know that's the idea and any sense of humor would have spoiled the terror that it is supposed to depict. And yet I hoped, until the last page, that the mood would brighten up, even for a single moment. Maybe Orwell hoped for the same thing but he couldn't fulfill it. Some stories are bigger than their author and his readers. This is one such story.
