  • Not at all lightweight - well written and un-put downable!

    A classic. George Orwell had an uncanny knack of predicting how certain trends in society could be exploited. Their weaknesses used to the determent of society as a whole. Free speech and even to be in love could (and in the book) was forbidden and punished. Constant surveillance with the use of cameras was everywhere. The spirit to resist was broken and the reader follows the progress of a doomed love affair.

  • Excellent read for todays working class people.

    Like the author`s books always speaks the truth of the downtrodden working class people in our society. Which is relevant today in 2024.

  • 1984 is a book you can’t judge by its cover

    1984 is a book you can’t judge by its cover it’s set in an alternative time but if you read it and see things the way it’s set we are kind of in the 1984 universe it’s a classic of a book it’s something I read and enjoyed so much it worth reading so grab a copy and read it and see how things could have been

  • 1984

    Obviously the story speaks for itself, but I like the quality of the paper it is printed on, your finger slides over the smooth paper without catching, not like the Penguin paperback, which has the horrible scratchy paper the puts your teeth on edge
