My Reviews
Obviously, it just wasn't meant to be read by adults. For children, it may have been just fine. The overall idea of it was good though. Reminds me of a few movies, all of whose titles escape me right now.
I was really worried when I first started reading it. There were so many characters right off the bat and the three different narratives were confusing. But, once I kept reading, I got things straightened out and thought it was a very good book. I especially loved the many different ways that Alex said the phrase, "shitting bricks." I laughed especially hard when he said something like, "he was rebuilding the Great Wall of China with shit bricks." Very funny, but also very sad at the same time. I really enjoyed it.
I've read this book several times, and it still hasn't gotten old! George Orwell gives you a lot of "what ifs" to think about. An excellent book that I would recommend to everyone!
I liked the book, though it made me a bit sick to think about what the people in charge can really do.
