I suppose this book has a lost a bit of its mystique since we are well passed the year 1984, but the themes are still chilling. Up until the very end, I found myself comparing the story with things that HAVE happened. "War is Peace" is one of the society's mantras in the book... reminds me of things that are happening today in our country. Of course, this book takes it to the extreme of a Negative Utopia. Good book. Really makes you think about what you believe and why you believe it.
