George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision of "Negative Utopia" is timelier than ever-and its warnings more powerful.

Summary: This is a timeless classic
Comment: George Orwell was way ahead of his time with this book. It's amazing that in the late 1940's when relatively little was known about the life under communism and it's impact on everyday life, we was able to capture this so brilliantly! The only thing that he probably did not get right is he attributed the communist too much ability to innovate. When there are no personal rewards and people live in fear, there isn't innovation. But that's just a side note and it does not take anything away from this brilliant book. It's a timeless classic that has something to say to every generation and should be a required reading. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great Purchase.
Comment: I couldn't believe myself when I saw this book. Top quality, for such a nominal price. I prefer hardbounds to paperback, and this book for sure is an exception to the fact that hardbound books are grossly costly.
I definitely recommend this product!

Summary: a classic, but too full of torture and gore! I hated it!!!!
Comment: This book was very difficult to read. I know it's a classic sci-fi and dystopia read, but I truly hated this book, especially at the end! I also think it's horrible that this book is taught in high-school... It should be for 18 and over only! The original "Big Brother", and a frightening look at what society could become if we let it. Probably so frightening because it is so possible.

Summary: The classic dystopia novel
Comment: Orwell displays brilliance at every turn in this acclaimed work. The depth of social commentary, non-stop plot, rich characters and fluid sytle make this a classic in every sense. The aventures of Winston Smith, the main character, provide incisive, memorable insights into the nautre of human affairs. This book deserves all the praise it has received over the years. Highly recommended.

Summary: I love this book!
Comment: Twisted view of a future world, even more creepy looking at it from a time 20 years after this imaginary future... it is interesting to compare and contrast this book with reality...
