A review by lotta_8
1984 by George Orwell

dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

The book and its plot are heavy. It definitely took me a few chapters to get into the story. The plot itself is not very pleasant, however, it is impressive in what detail an author in 1948 was able to predict what was to happen e.g. in Germany just a couple of years later. Not a light read but definitely worth the effort.
