surprisingly i never read this text in entirety as a young adult. figured it was about time to get around to reading it once and for all. was & was not what i was expecting. at times i found it to err on the side of plain old weird. the references to this text will for sure have a stronger meaning to me as the set up on 1984 is really quite scary. it was a quick & easy read with an interesting story line, so much so that i watched a film adaptation, but felt it fell short. why a 3.9? well i guess because it was all a bit predictable & at times i felt a little extra. nonetheless i think it is a book that everyone should read because it does make for good discussion.
had a dogged copy in my library… will purchase a new one to replace it. don’t think it it’s totally necessary to own, but because it takes up such little space why not?
