The main character really grossed me out. A scene made me kinda disgusted, and I was really close to stopping reading the book. I liked the message and how detailed and sophisticated the world Orwell created. It felt realistic which adds to the horrifying aspect of the novel. If you are extremely nihilistic and losing hope, please please please don’t read this book. It won’t do you any good.
