I don't really know how to write this one as I am not really one of those who report on books.
Just wanna say to y'all who didn't read the book you should really go get it. It tells the story of a very dark world, where each uniqueness of our world is exaggerated and shaded, where all is inspected, monitored and controlled by a central authority. a centralized world, where nothing is beautiful but one thing - the common truth. How does living in a world like this feels? How far fetched is this world from ours? What is the nature of truth, and freedom?
These are my thoughts. hope that's working for you.
He is a bit slow, but he builds it up. I'm now reading "Down and Out in Paris and London" by him also. it's also seems slow, but fun and interesting.
I have not read that one. The only other book I've read of his is Animal Farm. Which we were required to read in highschool.
I didn't read Animal Farm in school but i did really enjoy it as an adult. Social commentary aside, i love the way Orwell tells a story. Even though you know the characters are doomed you can't help but root for them and have hope they'll be okay or even win in the end. Which of course makes the revelations all the more heartbreaking.
That's not something I had noticed when I had read them. But looking back I agree with your statement. Regardless, I really enjoyed both of those books.
