After about thirteen years I decided to give this a reread and realized I did forget a lot of it. It took longer to read due to the parallels between the state of the world and it's themes. I kept having to put it down for a few days. Most of the book is a simple read with only the last third becoming emotionally more difficult.
It's a disheartening book but I think it's something people should read regardless, at least once.
Thanks for reading!
That's the same edition that I have. One of the few examples where the most popular item in a subgenre really is the best IMO
Yeah, it really is the dystopian book on most lists. Not difficult to see why when you realize it was published in 1949.
