1984

I think almost everything has already been said and written about 1984, so I will just add some thoughts of my own.

The concept of 1984 is so interesting and at the same time terrifying that it really intrigued me, especially in the way things have turned out. When I first read it I was around 18 and I was starting this Dystopian period where 1984 just couldn’t be left out. I’d been more hesitant before then, because the story is well known and I don’t always tend to like the school-recommended classics, but after graduating I felt safe to try.

I would certainly recommend it. Even if you wouldn’t read it for its own impact, if you enjoyed any of the modern dystopian novels, reading 1984 is a must.
