Reader comments
This book is so shocking! The characters in the story have distinctive personalities, and the one that impressed me most was Winston. He dared to question and resist. This spirit is admirable. The author lets us see the horror of totalitarianism through his experience. This book is really prophetic, and many of its concepts have now become everyday language. Highly recommended!
I tried to start listening to this book. After listening to it for a while, I laughed to death. Dear gentlemen and ladies who read my comments, please be sure to try listening to books and open the door to a new world. [Laughing]
