Summary: Jason's review of 1984
Review: 1984 was a desent book. The caution of not ever letting a Totalitarianist government come to power was the over arching theme of the book. There were several thought provoking passages that made me think about the world in a new way. However the plot and charcters seemed dull and uninteresting to me. This isn't a book I would recomend to anyone who wants a casual book to read but if you want a book that will make you think a little than this is a good book to choose.

Summary: 1984
Review: 1984 over all is a very boring book. Their are parts in the book that catch your attention but just for a while and then it just gets boring again. I don't really like futuristic based books and the book 1984 is a perfect example why. I wouldn't recommend this book to any one, unless your into this type of genre. I give this book 1*.

Summary: A little too slow
Review: I found 1984 to be an intriguing book. The plot of the book was interesting. How the author went about telling the story was too slow for me. I found it hard to pay attention while reading it. Throughout the entire book there were bits of intereseting parts followed by several paragraphs of, what i found to be, random information. I though it was a great plot but the storyline wasn't to my liking.

Summary: 1984
Review: 1984 by George Orwell is a story of a totalitarian government and a man living under its power. Winston, the main character, struggles to fight the ruling outer party, even though his works for them changing historical documents to fit the parties needs. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys conspiracy stories. The only negative thing I can say about this book is it becomes slow in some parts, but over all it is a great read.

Summary: R-E-J-E-C-T-E-D
Review: This particular piece of literature, entitled 1984 and written by Goerge Orwell, was 1980 boring. Being a seventeen year old teenager, with a mind of my own, made it extremely difficult to stay focused on something so morbid and [weak] as this so-called "classic." I can sum up my thoughts of this book using few words...Reading this book was like HELL! And for those of you who are more visual, it was like trying to keep a white T-shirt clean while eating spaghetti. This book just didn't grab my attention. I simply couldn't "connect" with the characters (Winston, Julia, Syme, O'Brien and Big Brother). To me, they were all just a bunch of names and not "real" people. Many sections in the book allowed me to connect the book and the real world toegether like abortion and how the government is slowly becoming more apart of everyone's daily life. BOTTOM LINE: From this collection of 245 pages, nothing tickled my fancy. The thought that a 40 foot tall pine tree was but down to print this accumulation of modern day gibberish is sad indeed!

Review: 1984 by George Orwell, is the most BORING book I ever read for school. To me the plot was not interesting, the characters were useless and the time period .... Although the idea of the government controling everything is scary and most likely true it just didn't have any emotions to make it good. For a book to be good it needs to have emotions, and this book lacked them, and there was also no dialouge which to me is important. KNOT

Summary: 1984 is a book that makes you think so much it's scarey!
Review: Orwell is great. 1984 tells the tale of society 30 years into the future from when Orwell actually wrote the book. The fact that he was able to see or know how things could be 30 years later and with so much detail and complexity is awesome. And I mean with extraoridary detail! Concepts of "Newspeak" and "Doublethink" are phenominal. You get into the main character and you start to cheer for him. You too want him to crack the system. The book may possibly get a bit slow or a touch wordy towards the end however I think it's necessary. 1984 can be a brain buster if you free you mind and let yourself understand and follow all that takes place. Your brain will definately get a good workout trying to understand "Newspeak" and the structure of "Big Brother". It is fun! I highly recommend this book. It stands as a warning to us all. Freedom is perhaps the greatest concept we know, it would be devistating if we forgot it! Big Brother claims, "Freedom is Slavery" or "Slavery is Freedom", "War is Peace" and "Strenth is Power". What do you think?

Summary: World Of Us
Review: Through out the coarse of my reading carrier I must say that I have found only a few novels that may compare with "1984". The cunning realism that is embedded upon every page is something truly worth reading. Personally as a writer I feel that after reading this novel I have grown and improved my own writing technique. Not to mention the actually genius involved in contemplating the elaborate world of restricted freedom and no piece of mind. George Orwell completely shatters all walls of possibilities when he introduces many variations of mass control as well as mass acceptance of lies. The complexity of the main character Winston Smith in itself is simply astonishing. So tragic and heart felt is his predicament that sympathy is quickly given to the fictional character. This is mostly because of the fact that certain freedoms that we have are taken for granted. While in "1984" the lack of freedom is equally accepted and taken for granted by the people of the novel. Which reminds us to think and judge for our selves what it is right. This is the utmost reason for me appreciating and taking to heart this novel. >>Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind...<<

Summary: 1984 - Fascinating and Terrifying (Doublethink at work!)
Review: This book is a work of genius. It is so much more than science fiction. In fact, it's bleak vision of the world is scary because of its plausibility. It is so completely credible and convincing. It is brilliant philosophy, masterful thriller, and love story all at the same time. There is enough explanation about the plot of the book in other reviews, so I'll spare you. This book captured me completely. Read this book if you like thought provoking literature.
