Es un libro con un fuerte mensaje y no apto para débiles mentes.

Fantastic book, couldn't put it down!

I almost didn't read it. The description read too much like that of Animal Farm, which I found average (probably because what was new then, seems common now). But when I found people comparing it to the situation in India today, I decided to give it a shot. And I'm glad I did. The book is amazing. I've heard of Orwellian society before, but it was this book that helped me understand its true meaning. W Smith, the protagonist, lives in a dystopian society where all citizens are under constant sur...

The setting of the book is Oceania and the government runs the whole thing. A guy named winston is the main character and he strives to abolish it but doesn't know how. The conflict is that the government runs it all and everyone in Oceania hates it and wants to get rid of the government but they can't because he has cameras everywhere around Oceania. I think the theme of the book is "you have to deal with things you can't fix. I liked the book because the conflict really got me attached and I w...

Well I read this book , but to be sincere I do not remember the characters at all , the characters are empty as their life was empty of emotions , i think it is hard to make the characters memorable when they should hide their emotions. All you see in this book is their struggle to be free to free their emotions and wildest dreams , things that seem so common of us but so important when you don't have them. This is a very heavy book and not everyone will enjoy it.

A very difficult book to rate. Orwell's imaginative thinking about the society of future is shockingly accurate and deserves an applause.In a way, Orwell follows what he has quoted in the book "The best books are those that tell you what you already know". There is nothing in the plot which the reader does not know already or can not guess. In spite of that I had an urge to keep reading the next page till the very end.(Yes, even the section on Newspeak which is absolute waste)In most of the coun...

Must read! It fascinating. Is it Orwell‘s prophecy about the Future or are we just imagining that because of use of terms such as "Big Brother", "doublethink" and "newspeak", which makes it sound very contemporary and fresh?

Reading 1984 is a unique experience that changes the reader as few other books can do. In this nightmarish warning against the horrors of totalitarian regimes, Orwell imagines a grotesque mixture of Hitler and Stalin with a touch of capitalist greed, teaching us how to recognise the same approach in contemporary politics and ideology, from propaganda to the manipulation of language. A powerful demonstration of the connection been words and ideas, showing how important education is to obtain free...

Nice study guide to go along with reading Orwell's classic novel "1984". Helps to identify themes and symbols/motifs, includes chapter analyses and character analyses and also has a section on how to write a good literary essay, something I don't recall seeing in other Cliff or Sparks notes. Definitely a good supplement / enrichment while reading the book and definitely not a replacement for reading it.

This was a good summary of 1984. While it is not a substitute for reading the novel, it is a good study companion.

Buku yang agak sulit dimengerti karena latar belakang cerita ini menampilkan dunia yang mungkin asing bagi kita. Selalu membayangkan kalau novel ini ditulis pada saat sekarang mungkin akan menjadi gambaran dari negara Korea Utara. Kontrol total terhadap warga negaranya lalu kebohongan yang diubah menjadi kebenaran absolut, sungguh mencerminkan negara diktator.

Beautiful novels

One of my all-time favorite!

i honestly really liked this book ! at first i wasn't sure about finishing it because it was pretty slow, and i don't love books like that. but after the first 60/70 pages the story starts getting really interesting and at the end it's seriously amazing. the final part is quite heavy, but it keeps you glued (?) to the page and you can't absolutely stop reading it. recommended !!~

I'm going to right off that bat say, this book was quite depressing. If you're not into bad endings you wouldn't like this book, but if you are then go on ahead and read it. In this book the main character is an ordinary guy, doesn't have anything special about him, whereas in a lot of other books this would not be the case. The tone of this book is kind of dark and lonely, there are some moments in it though where it differs from those tones. If you are into romance, there is not much romance i...

This study guide is a thorough and complete guide to the novel with ample descriptions of chapters, characters, themes, and symbols.

That weird feeling of frustration, incredulity, acceptance, and deja vu that one gets after going over "1984" Novel/prophecy and comparing it to the current political atmosphere

An almost prophetic book. A must read for the current 21st century reader.

In preparation for a book club meet-up, I read the SparkNotes for the literary masterpiece "1984" and I got chills as I refreshed my memory on the awesomeness of this book! Apart from quick chapter summations and great plot/character analysis, the book also has a section on how to write a literary essay. The book teaches how to deconstruct a book, drill down to the salient themes, pattern recognition, thesis development and how to present your analysis with the proper justifications, grammar and...
