1984

[navarre]

Easily one of the greatest stories in English literature ever to be made. I hear the film is coming soon, (2009), and cannot wait. This book really has altered my perception of the world for the better.

1984... I remember reading it... I don't remember if I liked it. So is taking place in 1984? Or are they moving it somewhere else?

There already is a film with Richard Burton

Definitely worth watching - after you've read the book ofcourse

I'm a sucker for these dystopian tales, anyone who enjoyed 1984 should also check out 'We'

Yea we had to read this book in school, can't really say I enjoyed it, but it had its moments...I would like to see the movie though

I read the book for novelty purposes a while back and I must say that it was one of the most interesting books I have yet to read. Another book that I enjoyed reading was Catcher In The Rye. Anyways, it would be interesting to see a movie made about the book.

I thought this was probably the best book that we had to read for school, I actually enjoyed it.

It's pretty scary how he predicted so much stuff in it, I mean television wasn't even invented yet at the time he wrote it.

i didn't really like that book. it was kind of confusing. The ministries are always changing opinions and people are betraying each other...
