I think it would have been cooler to read it before the year 1984 occurred. It would have been scarier reading it thinking that this actually could happen in 1984. ( )

I've wanted to read this for a long time, but was never forced to in school and just didn't get around to it until now. It's an important book. Not only does it detail the dangers of totalitarianism, but also raises some really good questions about the nature of the past. Basically, if something happened in the past, and then all documentation was changed so that it appears to have not happened, and then everybody says it never happened, how can you be so sure you really remember it at all?

A brilliant book, if a bit slow in places. It's driven much more by description of the dystopian land of Oceania than by character or plot. If you're interested in the inner workings of the socio-political landscape, you'll enjoy it. If you just want a fun little sci-fi romp, this probably isn't for you.

All the same, I think it's a book people should read. The world of 1984 may seem overdramatic, but it is one plausible outcome of the gradual sacrifice of privacy and property in favor of governmental protection or the nebulous "common good." It's something worth thinking about. Indeed, that is perhaps this book's strongest point: it left me with an unusually large number of things to think about. That, my friends, is truly high praise for a novel.

[Note: Star Trek: The Next Generation totally ripped off this book in the episode "Chain of Command" with the five/four lights thing. But Picard was a whole lot more badass under pressure than Winston, so they get points for that.] ( )

love the varieties of language and how much more thorough this dystopia is than others of its ilk ("We" specifically, haven't actually read "Brave New World" yet). Newspeak is a cool idea, and the emotions of the characters are pretty powerful throughout the second half. ( )

when i first read this book, i loathed it. there's a section where winston (the main character) is reading a book and i found that part rather dry. i was inspired to read it again from a friend and i am so glad i did! there are some truly great scenes in this book which i won't write out for fear of giving things away. all i have to say is more than a few times, i felt my heartbeat quicken at crucial parts in the book. it's worth reading and worth considering what any society's future could turn into if the love of power outweighs everything else. in a place where you are never truly alone, not even with your thoughts, where even the language is changed to control your thoughts or ability to think outside the box and you're surround by perpetual war and less than stellar living conditions, what becomes of your humanity? i think orwell paints a thought-provoking, mind-blowing, soul-stirring picture of the possibilities.

De verdad que este Libro es uno de esos que todos tenemos que leer, magistralmente contada la historia, una critica a la sociedad, al gobierno y a la evolucion.
es impresionante como cada dia se va convirtiendo en una realidad tangible, eso de la reducción del lenguaje me sorprendió ya que precisamente los mensajes en Messenger y por celular están creando eso que describe Orwell en su libro.
Debo decir que al final me dejó con el corazon "apachurrado" porque no supe si reir o llorar... pensar que la esperanza y la voluntad se pueden subyugar de forma tan total me dejo pensando verdaderamente.
Ojalá pudieramos leer este libro y comprender a fondo su mensaje, entender su visión futurista y darnos cuenta que se convirtió en el aqui y ahora de nuestro mundo. ( )

George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision of "Negative Utopia" is timelier than ever-and its warnings more powerful.
