Honestly surprised me, I've heard how much people rave over it but I did not think it would be my cup of tea. It ended up being pretty good. I think that so many modern forms of media have been so heavily inspired by 1984, that while this might have been the first occurrence, to me I've already seen these topics explored thoroughly throughout different books tv shows and movies. I think the book really picks up during the second half and that I wish there was more of it to consume. It would have been interesting to have seen the events from more perspectives maybe jumping through time and people but I see how that would have diluted the story we got.
