Review Detail

Reader reviewed by leebase

1984 - is a classic such that one wonders why someone would need to write a review.   Politics is so important and our schools do such a poor job of bringing this subject to light.   1984 brings the importance of paying attention to what politicians are saying and doing to light.

It is scary, it is engaging, it is important.  It tells truths about how those in power use words to deceive people that are just as relevant today as when they were written.   The power technology brings to keep tabs on people is making the warning of this book ever MORE relevant than when it was written.

If it's not already part of the school curriculum, read this book with your child and talk about it's relevance.
