George Orwell
1984
I was searching my bookshelf for interesting books that I haven’t read and I discovered 1984. I had heard positive things about this book and its similarity to Animal Farm, so I thought I would try it out.
The genre is Fiction/Science Fiction.
I read my book in my room, usually at night lying on my bed.
The book was great and very interesting. The book gave me many ideas about what it might have been like to be living in a totalitarianism government. I imagined what it was like to live during World War II under Stalin or Hitler’s rule. A world where the government controls everything you do is certainly hell. You can’t even think on your own. In 1984 Winston talks about how the government’s objective is to make their people say 2+2=5 and make them actually believe it. Under a government like that people would lose all of their rights and free will, it made me grateful that we do not live in a world like that.
Yes, I read longer than I normally would every day. I tried to read 2-3 chapters or 45-60 minutes every day in order to finish this book. It was definitely worth it.
