The book is alright. I hate it though, not because it's a bad book but because how it's used. Every time in the current day that something political happens that someone doesn't like they scream about how 1984 predicted it. "OMG 1984 is drumpfs America" etc. It's completely ruins the book to be used to make false warnings to a fictional future to further someone's political agenda.

Not sure if it's porn book with too much world building or serious story with too much sex.

Great entrycore book that anyone should read at least once. Prose is unremarkable but Orwell's strengths as an essayist still shine through and brevity is the soul of wit.

Pretty bad choice OP.
Jaxon Jones
wait what there's a movie????
Robert Reyes
yeah and it sucks. the movie is just complementary visuals for the book imo.
Asher Gonzalez
honestly I don't think I want to see the movie.
The book looked great in my mind and it's all that matters
Joseph Cooper
it's decent imagery for what the book is but yeah you don't miss out on anything.
Hudson Wright
also the movie doesn't explain jack, it's just a compilation of random scenes with no cohesiveness.
Caleb Parker
There are actually two of them. One from 1956 and another one from 1984. The later one is starring John Hurt as Winston Smith.
Nolan Torres
The funny thing about it: the book wasn't written about a fictional future but about a very serious presence alienated and strenghtened by a futuristic setting. But it's actually about the Moscow Trials.
Julian Thompson
that is the worst cover i have ever gazed upon my friend
Hudson Phillips
Op here...
I respect all your comments and thank you !
For the books cover..i didn't plan to buy it actually. i went to a thrift shop and there it was. Since i enjoyed the concept alot and the movie aswell i wanted to read it.
On the other hand, i stopped reading books when iam at home...bad habits..
But i take out my current books with me and spend hours in a coffee shop or somewhere else to read.
Btw, most of you guys probably know but still wanted to leave it here
The movie
