Reviews

[Stanislavskij · Rating 3 out of 5]

Offers some insight into the differences between BNW and 1984, as you'd expect. Very useful if you are intending to write about either book.

[Brigi]

Pretty good, I was interested only in 1984, but both books are covered well and compared from several points of view (plots, characters, politics etc).
