I knew I had to read this classic, and it is just what I expected it to be and nothing at all at the same time. I really loved the comparisons and metaphors throughout, although I wish I had the opportunity to read this in a class environment to better understand some of the content. I think it does a great job at building anticipation, as through reading it you know the end outcome won't be a good one and you're just waiting for the characters to see it too. I think this is such a great piece of  political commentary literature and more people should be required to read it as it can help people to understand when and how to question their surroundings and government.
