Read this for school and wow
Definitely not the type of book I would read in my free time but damn this was good. George Orwell knows how to explain the complexities of the human mind very well and the plot was insane. He predicted the future with this book, many countries after his time fell for something like this. So relevant. I will not shut up about it.
