My son bought me a bookmark last christmas with a list of his 50 must-read books to plough through. George Orwell's 1984 was on it. I think I had to read some of it at school but can't really remember that far back but knew about it through film & TV etc. I found it a very fast reading book... you don't really want to put it down for long as it seems there is always another question or other thought provoking scenario that you want to get on with finding out how it unravels. Well that is perhaps the only negative about the book...does it unravel? many questions/ideas are left unexplored but heyho! Thats the novel and the way the esteemed author packaged it. It is an extremely interesting read and thoroughly recommended especially for those who can get into character and surroundings of a book. A note on this Everyman's Library edition (with the black-shirted, mustachioed George Orwell on the dust-jacket). Printed in Germany 2003 It is a robust hardback that looks good with or without the dust-jacket and I am certain this copy will be traded and read for a couple of generations at least. Well Done the quality-police at Everyman's!Read full review
A nice hard back copy of a classic novel for me to keep, one of those I've always meant to read and now I can.

This is an amazing read, eye opening to say the least. A must read for anyone that is switched on about the world around us. The quality of the book it's self is great. A good looking book that sits proudly with others.

This book was ahead of it's time & still is, the only thing Orwell got wrong was the date! but there is still time.
