This is one of the first books I have read more than once. I first read "" in and now for the second time in The book has remained the same, but both the world and I have not. I cannot begin to convey how genuinely frightening this book is. I am a lover of popular science fiction and am astounded by Orwell's ability to be more compelling, entertaining and engrossing than authors with the benefit of light sabers, phasers and teleportation.
To every young person who has been assigned this book, know that you are reading a literary work of art.

Many of you will understand and appreciate it, but if you love literature, please make a mental note to read this again when you are older. Youth brings with it eternal hope, boundless optimism and of course, hormones, so you will find yourself rebelling against the pessimism of the book itself - you will effectively be Winston raging against the machine, hoping, searching, questing for a way out.
In short, you will cheat. But when you get older, have a family, lose loved ones and see some of your dreams unfulfilled - when you witness entire nations and races of peoples born, live and die in brutal squalor - when you reflect on the technological advances made over the decades and gaze, with mouth agape, at how a people can be less advanced, less informed and less enlightened, not despite these innovations, but BECAUSE of them, then you will read as it was meant to be read Check out "It Can't Happen Here.

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I read this in high school I'm 72 now and at that time it was a prediction of things to come. In some ways it's pretty close. It is interesting that people are reading it more now because of the current situation. I think that if they are alarmed by this book they should try "It Can't Happen Here.

Mass Market Paperback Verified Purchase. As expected, Big Brother catches Winston, and tortures him ruthlessly until he is a shell of his former self. I wanted to rape you and then murder you afterwards.
Regardless of whether or not the characters are relatable, the book definitely serves as a cautionary tail to all those who have scanned it pages. This book has many horrifying elements and scenes, such as telescreens, the things constantly watching people even in their own homes. This turned Winston into what seemed like an animal with rabies, and after this punishment in which he was spared death because he betrayed his lover Julia he was never the same. Phones like the iPhone not only have fingerprints for touch identification but now are starting to delve into the world of facial recognition, and no one truly knows for sure where this information goes.
We see far worse things than Winston saw in the Ministry of Love by simply turning on the news. Nations like North Korea have complete control over their citizens, and the saddest part is, these citizens are too shielded from reality to even know that there is something wrong with the way they are treated.

I first read for a high school English class almost 20 years ago, I was immediately drawn to Orwell's writing style. For every bit of dialog, there is MUCH more narration, but the narration is engrossing and intriguing. If you're like me and love a good bleak novel that explores the basic depravity of man other favorites of mine are Brave New World and Lord of the Flies , read Don't forget to give Animal Farm a try as well; it covers very similar themes using talking barnyard animals, but it's an easier read.
