1984

Reader reviewed by berg

Imagine a world where you were not free, could not do your Daly activities, and above all you do not have the right to freedom of speech. This is how George Orwell presets his book, 1984. it was written during the time of the cold war, so he predicted what life would be like in 1984, he is obviously wrong but some of his points are right, and it is a scary thought that what the story tells us can still happen. It has strong political opinions about what the government can do or has done. It is one of the most important books of all time. I recommend this book to anybody who opposes the war on Iraq, and has political ides

With all the current controversy about where to draw the line on constitutional rights, 1984 is a great read. It explores the issues of what the world can become if take these rights for granted. It also explores the philosophies of Kent, and of what love truly means and how fragile life and the human spirit can become if it is suppressed long enough.
