Orwell wants to drive home the fact that nothing well or good can come out of it. With the ending, there is no happily ever after or a spark of hope. ...more

This book is absolutely incredible. So harrowing, a warning to us all. It's been awhile since a novel has had me thinking so much every step of the way. I highly recommend it.
