This is obviously a masterpiece. George Orwell really spent 90% of this book to paint a picture of a world as it dangerously could be—or perhaps even already is in some respects. I just kind of a hard time being truly interested in finishing the book once I already had an idea of what the message of the story was. That said, I definitely see why this is a classic, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
