the cliff notes were a pleasure to have. Made the whole reading the book much easier (as you sometime don't catch everything). Some of the things in it I don't quite agree with, but if you don't want to read the book these are very good and you're teacher will think you read it.

Format:Paperback
I thought this was the novel version of 1984 - but it's not. It's a summary of each chapter and a list of characters - very useful if you are going to be sitting a literature exam - (If that's what you want it for, it looks fine), but if you wanted, as I did, to read the novel, you'll be disappointed.

Sheer excellence
Orwell's last novel did not let his standards slip. Previous novels of his such as animal farm are shown in a dull light next to the exceelence of this novel. Read more

The worst written classic in the English language
1984 is a book all endure but none should. Although much imitated and undoubtedly impacting on the popular conscience the book itself is badly written and disinteresting. Read more

An all time classic which serves as a warning to mankind
Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength. These are the Doublethink values which Winston is coerced to abide by. Read more
