Just finished reading 1984 by George Orwell and I have to admit it's end was pathetically depressing.
It really wrenched my heart to read the elaboration of process of breaking down of the spirit of man. The book was deep, thought provoking and deeply disturbing.
It really made me think how hard hearted the author could be. How he could abandon his characters which he so painstakingly created?
As I want to explore more about the genre, i wanted to know your views on the novel (of course, only if read) and/or which book you read you think stands out to be most depressing for you.
