A review by elysian_mess
1984 by George Orwell, Joe White

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.0

I'd like to read the book after this audio adaptation because there were mentions of significant thing such as thoughts of rape etc from Winston in reviews which were not mentioned in this adaptation 

- I thought the acting was incredible but the constant heavy breathing was grating 
- the language 'Newspeak' was a fascinating concept. The erasure of a vast vocabulary for control purposes 
- the entire premise was  thought provoking & fairly easy to follow 
- the ending was harrowing, the acting was superb
- easy to see why it's often classed as a 'must read'
