It's a political dystopia which attempts to draw parallels with the 'real world'. It's the kind of book that makes you think and question everything around yourself. It establishes the dystopian society brilliantly with every minute detail and simultaneously makes you feel optimistic. It's only in the second half of the book that you realise the 'why' and the real power of the 'Big Brother'. The book is filled with surprises and it grabs your attention from the first sentence itself. The ending has left me in awe of the book. Looking forward to re-reading it.
