1984

[Jane]

Has anybody read 1984 by George Orwell? We read an extract from it in English, and it looked really cool, so I decided to buy the book. I've just finished it and I must say it's really good! It's where Big Brother was created from. It was written in 1948 and is about how London is being watched by a man called Big Brother - like on the tv programme they made out of it . I would suggest it to anyone!

never hear of it, nice avater btw

I've read the sequel: 1985. It was written in the 60s (I think) and it's garbage. Nobody else seems to have read the sequel, though.

It was a good book, but very sinister
I also recommend it

I've been told to read George Orwells books by a lot of people (Animal Farm and 1984... I think).
I haven't gotten around to it... But they are something I do plan on reading eventually.

I've read it! I think it's good, certainly makes you think.
I've also read Animal Farm, I personally prefer that to 1984

ooh.. i've read an extract in english too.. in one of those ex-test booklets. I can't remember it too well, it was a while ago.

That freaked me out was it where he made a diary because he had that corner where noone could see him or something?

I read it when i was younger and I had nightmares. I don't remember it now... I might go read it again. Thanks for the reminder 3
