It was a heavy read which I was in the mood for. I thought the book was an interesting thought experiment and Orwell really laid out the world in interesting ways. I think there are still questions unanswered that make the world seem unfeasible, which given what the author was trying to accomplish, makes it seem too preachy at times.
From a writing perspective: it has a very straightforward presentation but overly descriptive of irrelevant details. Acts I and II severely dragged but I did really enjoy Act III.

Graphic: Torture
