1984 by George Orwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
You must be kidding - George Orwell's 1984 is a classic and needs no review - you'll be pulled in from when the clock strikes 13.
It does not have a complicated or page turning plot, and you could say it's depressing, a doomsday scenario, but then, look at all he foresaw.
If like me you come from a totalitarian system, it is almost too painful to read or watch (the movie version, with Richard Burton).
Still, you should.
No one who is a thinking person and lives in this world, should go without reading 1984 and Animal Farm at least once in their lives.
