I really liked this book! Part one was basically the description of Winston's everyday life, which was kind of boring and plain. Part two, however, shows how Winston went through their tiny revolution against the Party. Part three was how Winston went through the Ministry of Love, how O'Brian taught him to believe lies, and told him that he was insane and delusional, and forced him to betray Julia. This book has really got to me, it has a strong message. This is a very short blog post, but I don't have much to say. At first I thought that it was a boring book because of the first part, which is the longest. There were a lot of confusing parts, the language and vocabulary were also extremely confusing. But the second and third part (the vocabulary was also confusing in these parts) were very exciting! There was a lot of action going on, and it was like some sort of mystery that was needed to be solved. In the end, Winston and Julia failed, but it was still a good read. I found that the climax of the book was when the lovers got caught, Mr. Charrington was revealed to be an agent of the secret police, and O'Brian was also revealed to be a bad guy too. I was very intrigued in what was room 101, and I was also surprised to see that Parsons was caught. There were multiple twists and turns! Room 101... was not what I'd thought it be. Actually I thought that the room where Winston was electrocuted by O'Brian was room 101, and even after I discovered that it wasn't I found it more scary than Room 101, even if it contains "the worst thing ever". Of course, "the worst thing ever" for me is not rats, but I wonder how I would react if I would be placed in this room. The book ends in a cliff hanger... Julia said to Winston that she had betrayed him... she too has wished that "the worst thing ever" happened to him... but what IS her "worst thing ever"? This question is left unanswered and it REALLY ANNOYS ME!
