1984 is definitely one of the hardest reads that I've been through, and I didn't end liking it much. It's probably just not my type, but I feel like the story is difficult to digest. I think the messages inside the novel are brilliant, but I couldn't enjoy the way it was written; they felt too gloomy and grey (which is exactly the point of the story).

This is probably a great classic literature for others, but it's not meant for me.
