I'm really glad I finally got around to reading something by Virginia Woolf. Mind you, maybe I should have started with something else by her, but no matter. Here's my review.

Ducklady (1174 KP) rated 1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four in Books

Sep 2, 2019

This dystopian novel tells of the world completed controlled by its government. People are constantly watched and analysed. It's scary how accurate this book is when looking at society now.
Powerful book that is still relevant and needs to be read by everyone.
