1984 is such an impactful piece of work ; though fiction, it’s synonymous & relevant to current times as well. Divided in three parts with reference to how it all starts with thoughts, then words & ultimately leading towards actions. George Orwell has crafted his thoughts about power, individuality, freedom, the ways of the war & the brilliant power of thoughts in such an engrossing way that even if you ain’t a fan of classics (like me), you’re intrigued to read more.
• This book, is like reading reality even though you feel everything around you from the deepest inch of your heart. It’s as George says, “The book fascinated him or more exactly it assured him. In a sense it told him nothing that was new, but that was part of the attraction, it said that he would have said, if it had been possible for him to set his scattered thoughts in order. It was the product of a mind similar to his own, but enormously more powerful, more systematic, less fear-ridden. The best books, he perceived, are those that tell you what you know already.”

• I’d say it’s worth your time, it’s an important read, crafted very well, even if at times you might find the pace slightly slow or the details a little too much. For, sometimes, it’s in those very details &  pace, that you feel through the text along with a sense of belonging to the ancient yet ever-so relatable world of words laid before you.
