1984

So far I have mixed feelings towards the book. One of the things that bothers me is the lack of understanding. There are a lot of things that don’t make sense. For example, how can he do some of the things he does of he’s always being watched? I also dislike how he is the only one who feels the way he does toward the city. It was apparent from the beginning that the book would be similar to Fahrenheit 451. The good thing about that is that it was a great book and I am interested to see the differences between the two. Books about utopias or “distopias” really grab my attention. Books like The Giver, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, they all have that same feeling of ‘how is this person going to get out of this life?’ Its really a great idea and keeps you thinking throughout.
