The last part of the book, mostly
happening in The Ministry of Love, is gut-wrenching horrific to read.
I felt almost physically ill reading as I was so immersed into the
book. It really hit me hard.
I really did like the book, it was even
better than I remembered, partly because my English has gotten a bit
better and generally my view of things have had a drastic change in
the last year.
The plot and the world where it played
out are magnificent. The book has a very rich usage of words I've
never seen or heard before, so I learned something new, but I don't
know if I'll forget them when they simply aren't words that are used
nowadays that often. New-speak and the concepts of doublethink,
crimestop, unperson etc, are
things one won't forget easily.
All in
all I loved the book, and I might check out more of Orwell's work.
