1984 is set in a dystopian society where the Party and Big Brother control everything. In this society, there is perpetual war, memories are altered, and there is always a "deficiency" of luxuries and goods.

The idea and plot of this book is amazing, and like I said before, "The story is both exciting and haunting."

This was harder to read the second time, but enjoyable nonetheless.

The main characters in this book are fascinating, and they all have distinct motives and roles to play.

The writing of this book is a bit dense, but it does a great job at telling the story.

I read this book for school (I was planning of reading it recreationally), and it was one of my favorite "school" books. The story is both exciting and haunting.
