Nineteen Eighty Four is one of those books that I've picked up and started and then put down again more than once so this challenge was the perfect opportunity to force myself to soldier on.
Things I liked
Julia - I loved the parts with Julia in and I thought she was a good strong female character.
The humour - The book has a very dry subject matter but there was a good dose of humour in there too.
Things I didn't like
Goldstein's Book - I struggled with the book in a book part of the story mainly because it was so political and I'm not all that interested in politics, this section of the story bored me and made it hard to want to pick it up again.
The End - What an anticlimax!
Verdict
I'm glad I've finally read the book and I did enjoy the story for the most part but it was a bit too slow to keep my interest. 3/5
