This was (and still is) one of my most favourite novels I have ever read, and I've read it a few times. Normally I would never read a novel more than once but the dystopian world which George Orwell portrays is magnificent. I first read this novel a couple of years ago when I was studying English Literature and it was the only novel that I studied that I actually enjoyed, from the start all the way through there is suspense on an unprecidented scale and even though the novel was written and published around 1948-9 it can be seen as a prophetic piece as many of the things that Orwell touches upon in the book have actually happend (although not as ...

I'll assume most people will have heard of Orwell's 1984 - even if you have only the vaguest idea what it's about, certain phrases such as Big Brother and Room 101 have become parts of our popular culture (generally for the worse of TV). The fact that the book itself may be described as literature, however, means I reckon far fewer have actually read it unless given the chance/forced to at school. Certainly that was the case for me, until this summer when I decided to put that right. 1984 was Orwell's final novel, written in 1948 (he simply transposed the last two digits to set his dystopian vision in the not-so-distant future). It's actually amazing that it ...
