the book was okay. it was upper level thinking and I think it might have been a little much for a sophomore class. I also think that orwell predicted quite a bit correctly and I feel like if I was a bit older I would be able to understand it and appreciate a little bit more. the idea with the telescreens I think is pretty accurate, it might not have exactly happened in 1984 but times are changing and the amount of cameras and the lack of privacy is increasing. but I really didn't understand too much the idea with the hate week and that type of thing but overall the book seemed well written and if I was older I feel like it would be better understood.
