making you think. The society portrayed in this novel is far-fetched compared to our own, but in some ways it can be similar.

the way Orwell describes his new world, physically and politically. You really get a feal for the setting, so much that you actually feel like you are there.

release any conceptions I had on my thinking, and learn to think for myself a little bit more.

it was very interesting, and scary, and entertaining all at the same time. I really like books that make me think, like this one has. If you are up for an intellectual and inspiring novel, this book is for you.
