I must say, I surely didn't expect this; I had a completely different idea as to what I'd be getting out of this novel - a happy ending, perhaps, or even a lesson about revolutionaries and their revolts - and it was a shocking surprise (definitely in a good, yet awe-struck, sense).

أكثر من سنة وانا اقراها نتيجة عدم الانتظام في القراءة
عجيب كم الإسقاط الذي تجده في العصر الحاضر

Let me say at the onset, I am not now nor have I ever been into negativism. I consider 1984 the ultimate in negative outlooks for human-kind. The story itself was dry laborous reading, although the observations/parallels he made were valid, I just felt no need to reade it and had it not been the pick for MobileReads August book club I would never have read it. Thank you MobileReads for expanding my cultural horizens. Hey, everyone vote for Charlie Chan for the September pick.
