Book Reviews of the 1984

Customer Review: the hobo philosopher
Summary: 5 Stars

When I was young and read this book for the first time strangely enough I never thought of it as a warning about some other country's type of government. I thought of it as a description of what could happen in my own country if the wrong type of thinking was supported by a majority of the people of my country. I don't know what Mr. Orwell intended it to be but looking at my own country today I still think that my original interpretation was accurate.
I felt the same way about Animal Farm.
