as good as dan brown, couldn't put it down

Although it took me through mental and emotional turmoil, I really did love 1984. I often had to pause and remind myself that it was not real, and calm down a little bit and try to overcome the complete feeling of hopelessness that it caused me to feel, and the fact that it could provoke this kind of mental and emotional response is one of the reasons I liked it so much. Even when we all are cheering in the middle of the book for the rebellious love between Winston and Julia, and for the brotherhood book winston reads part of, by the end of the novel it all is squelched, and hopelessness strikes once again. The fact that a novel can get that sort of reaction out of me, as well as others that I have talked to, signifies the strength in Orwell's writing. The best part of this book is the room 101, and seeing the true power behind a totalitarian government, and realizing that if the world ever reached a point even near that, which seems so possible, that there is no way to overcome it, ever. It's scary to sit and think about what would personally be in that room 101 for me, and when I realized what I thought it would be, that mere idea scared me almost to tears without it even being anything real. People have said 'reading this book has made me so much more thankful for the freedom that we do have'. I think that this book actually is ore of a warning, not for you to be happy with what you have, but to scare us away from what kinds of power and control we are moving dangerously towards. I love the distopian attributes of the novel, just a reminder that there can never be a 'perfect' society created.
