Download 1984 Audiobook

" More true today than the late 40's. Worth listening to the classic "Big Brother" again. "

" It was never meant to be an instruction manual, but listening to this book again after 10 years shows us just how far down the rabbit hole we have gone. When I read this in high school, it was just another piece of fantasy, something that we could not actually imagine as reality. I read the books again with my kids a number of years later and it was shocking how far we progressed towards that reality. Now, all I can say is this is scary. It is well worth a read. It will make you think. It will make you contemplate and ask questions. "

" Simon Prebble the narrator needs an award for best reading. Bloody fantastic. Should be a compulsory read for everyone. "

" the world that he has created with bogbrother...a supreme, beyond god existence...thoughtcrime, thoughtpolice ...it filled my heart with the horror of what if...all the things that we take for granted are taken away...even the liberty to think is forshaken...i shudder at the thought of it... "

" Feel like losing your mind, and becoming paranoid for good reason? Read '84. "

" Great book, worth to read, I'll recommend to everybody "

" I really, really liked the first half of the book. I could not put it down, and loved the questions it posed. However, halfway through, I got really sick of Orwell using "literally", "continuous", "intermittently", "furtively", and other words that got overused beyond belief. I also thought it got a bit repetitive/redundant after a while. I still enjoyed it, just not as much as I thought I would. "

" A book averyone should read many times in his life to understand the dangers of our world. "

" To this day I have no idea how one mind could create a work of this magnitude. By all means read this novel, but know that when you do it will change the way you view yourself and the world around you forever. "

" Totally twisted... a lot of mind games, and one messed up gov. the book was okay, but just not something I would want to deal with in reality. "

" A powerful and at times truly frightening novel .....I tried reading this as a teenager and it want straight over my head ! ....Now some 30 years later i found it compelling and though it has some flaws i still enjoyed it "

" Dystopian goodness. Two words: Big Brother. "

" (note: about the companion book, which is superior to the original Orwell book) At times inconsistent and intellectually incestuous, although I would like one of these for all my favorite books. "

" I find more and more similarities daily... "

" Although I really liked the book and the story, the pacing was kind of slow at times which made it increasingly difficult to read. However, I would definitely recommend the book! "

" Great story! Re-reading it as an adult, I better appreciate everything about this book. "

" My favourite book without any doubts. "

" Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. "

" This book is extremely weird. The way it depicts the future is rather freaky. Even though its not exact it gets really close to several things, like the tellascreens in all the rooms. It was an interesting read though. "

" This is a good dystopian novel, and gets at the true nature of totalitarian regimes really well. The ending is quite a doozy. "

" Outstanding look at bleakness of life without civil liberty "

" Perhaps not a great read, but a seminal work and extremely bleak. "

" Grim. Much prefer Brave New World. "

" Todo lo que necesito saber sobre la guerra contra el terrorismo ya lo leí hace años en 1984.... Gracias Orwell! "

" I read this in middle school and the existential anxiety has been creeping in ever since... "

" Another classic liberal prep school read. Seems like "Brave New World" is closer to what's happened
but Orwell's fears and warning were well expressed and not to be ignored. Date read is a guess. "

" A True Classic. Ahead of it's time in so many ways. "

" Sólo decir que creo que gracias a que este libro fue publicado, su profecía no se cumplió al 100% "

" It still gives me the shivers and I haven't read it in years. "

" Good read, pretty fast paced except for the end of Part 2, when Winston is reading the exposition on the history of Big Brother... Not quite up there with Animal Farm, but still, it causes you to sit back and wonder just where we currently are on the pendulum of revolution. "

" Not a big fan of dystopian novels, but very good read for common culture. "

" Another depressing story about a leader who reminds me of several world leaders. You know their names. "
