Summary: This is amazing!
Review: Overall, this book is pretty good. It's creepy, though! We should all take it as a warning about the kind of world we could become-- one with a totalitarian government who watches you constantly and takes away your every freedom, even freedom of thought-- if we don't adhere to our beliefs and preserve the human nature.

Summary: Think, man, THINK
Review: In my senior year in high school, I was assigned three books to read; Fahrenheit 451, A Brave New World, and 1984. 1984 had the greatest impact on me of any book I ever read. Winston was one man who thought freely in a world where people were made not to think, or "doublethink". The moral, the lesson, the point: Think free and be sure your thoughts are indeed your own. Express them too

Summary: Reflection of Society
Review: I really liked this book a lot. The main reason for this is that I managed to read it after I had been in the Army for over three years. After reading it I realized that the Army wasn't just an OK place anymore, it was actually bad, very, very bad. After I got out I realized just how much it applied to general society outside as well. I guess what I am trying to say is that everyone should read this book to realize just how important the right to make your own decisions about your own life really are

Summary: George Orwell's '1984' - a look into the future
Review: '1984' is a very well constructed book and understandably one of the U.K's favourite books. It is a powerful and true to life story of what may still become. Orwell uses a great imagination and the right balance of description to make the characters appear as real as the paper he wrote them on. A book for everyone

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is, without a doubt, one of the best books everwritten. 1984 isn't just a science fiction story, it's also, moreimportantly, a warning. In a time when cameras are being placed on street corners, it's almost ironic to watch as so many of Orwell's predictions have become a reality. It really doesn't matter what year this is; 1984 will always be important.

Summary: A great prophetic vision
Review: We all know that the year 1984 has come and gone, but Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world is becoming timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of the "negative Utopia"-a startingly original and hounting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny this novel's power, its hold on the imagination of whole generatins,or the power of its admonitions-a power that seems to grow not lessen, with the passage of time. It is the story of a man by the name of Winston Smith he lives in a time when love of a woman is illeagal not just the act but the nature and feelings to one. A time when you are watched by your television and never have a life by yourself. A time when no one is safe from big brother. And a time when no one can rebel.

Summary: A brilliant view of the future
Review: Orwell's view of the world in 1984 is amazing, capturing thedeception and reality that exists around us. This foresight from the1950s into the future is great because its accuracy is undeniable. The life of Winston Smith, as well as his interaction with society, can be directly related to the current day.
Winston unknowingly is under the watchful eye of Big Brother, who has telescreens and informants everywhere to note Winston's actions. With today's video cameras and listening devices, this fiction becomes reality. The Thought Police are comparable to communist governments and the media, trying to conform people to their standards and/or ideas. Love is also restricted, like the love Winston has for Julia. A person can no longer carry on a simple relationship without intervention from outside sources. The novel was truly ahead of its time, and may still hold true for future generations. The primary reason "1984" remains popular is because it can still be applied to the world today. Orwell has written a marvelous story of the past, present, and future, allowing us to all live the life of the oppressed Winston Smith and see reality for ourselves.

Summary: Thank our lucky stars government isn't like that...yet.
Review: Orwell creates a frightening picture of how easy it is to manipulate human minds using extreme nationalism, unification from a common enemy, misplaced love, and the love of hating things. Readers ask themselves "WHY? Why do these people let themselves be subjected to such mind control?" Really it's all the people know. Somehow to them it makes perfect sense that the past doesn't exist. Scary. One of the best books I've ever read
