Brilliant book

The whole "Big Brother" concept in this book really weirded me out. I don't know if I could handle knowing that someone was watching/listening to me all the time. It also made me a little angry at how they can just erase history, and no one really questions it! When you do question it the kidnap you and torture you until you're ready to say the 2+2=5 and be completely convinced that it's true! I was really enjoying this book...until page 191. When Winston started reading "The Book" for 32 pages it was hard for me to keep my eyes open. I started wondering "Is this stuff really important? Can I skip over it and not feel like I missed something?" Turns out I could have skipped over that whole chapter! So If you decide to read this book, feel free to ignore chapter 9 in part 2!
