1984 by George Orwell, Joe White

adventurous dark reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

"Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood"
1984 is already one of my favourite books but to hear it dramatised with an accompanying soundtrack is amazing. It's so well done, so engaging and you get really swept up into the story and the characters. Some bits did feel slightly awkward to listen to in public, however overall I loved this and I'm holding out hope for a stage production!
