Shelves: 2016-books

روايه ممله صفحات و صفحات يتحدث و يشرح كيف الحزب يعمل و كيف يتحكم بالناس، تفهم هذه المعلومات من اول ١٠ صفحات و لكنه يكررها و يكررها بطريقه ممله، و عندما تبدأ القصه بتغير الأحداث تأتيك نهايه طويله ممله مكرره أيضا، بمعنى أن النهايه عباره عن ١٠٠ صفحه تتحدث عن نفس الشي تقريبا و نفس الشي للبدايه. النجمتين بتقييمي هي للفلسفه العميقه الموجوده بالكتاب فقط
