1984 - George Orwell, Erich Fromm Rating: To Come

Wow, this book is mind blowing, seriously!

"WAR IS PEACE
FREEFOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."

Such power and meaning in these three lines. These are so true not only in our 21st century, but also 30 to 40 years ago.

I am only 20 pages into this book, and I must admit that it is kind of hard to understand and grasp the full concept, but the meaning behind words and phrases are incredible. It is incredible in its self that Mr. Orwell was able to describe a future, 30-40 years into his future, with such accuracy.

Full review to come upon completing!
