STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Timeless. A Masterpiece.
THE BIRDICT
This is the dad of dystopia. It is creepy and sinister and claustrophobic.
Winston has always stayed with me. His anger, his hope, his instinctive need for more. And his ability to see beyond the propaganda and control.
And where do you go after this literary giant? The Handmaid's Tale, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World all come to mind as well as Franz Kafka's The Trial.
PS. The children in this book are scarier than Damien in The Omen.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
I listened to a version read by Andrew Wincott. It didn't quite fit how I felt Winston would sound. I've seen there's a version with Stephen Fry, which I'd love to hear.
