    George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

    "An eerily fantastic listen"

    Story

    I tried reading the novel but I found it too densely packed for my taste…I lost interest very quickly and put it down. I knew this novel was a political/philosophical classic and decided to try the audiobook. It was slow and bleak in the beginning but the more I heard the more engrossed I became and it was soon that I couldn’t stop listening. The novel is a masterpiece and the audio rendition enabled me to appreciate what I know I would have definitely never read again.
