Great book! I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in politics and how it affects us. Pure fiction but sometimes it makes you think what our world would be like if this book were to come true.

A classic. This WAS the future when I first read it.

I finally got around to reading this dystopian classic, and was pretty satisfied. It may not have lived up to my lofty expectations, but it was still a very good book. Its main strength is in the portrayal of a society that is so oppressive that you can't even breathe without "them", i.e. Big Brother, knowing about it. At times this book was extremely compelling, sometimes not so much. But it is worthy of its "classic" status, and most of the book has held up pretty well and does not seem too dated for being 60 years old.
