Review: 1984 is a book that made me think quite a bit about the theories that "The Party" posses. We see the last few months perhaps of Winston's life before the Thought Police capture him and completely alter his mind. The book leaves us hanging by not truly answering the question of Goldstein's existence. I enjoy books that make me think but on the other hand, I do not enjoy depressing books. Once Winston got captured, I hoped that he would hold out against the torture or that Goldstein would have finally convinced the proles that their lives should be better than this. Sadly, neither of those 2 things happened. Overall, this is a very interesting book about an anti-utopian society that controls absolutely everything. I believe that if one of the 2 things that I mentioned in paragraph 2 would have happened, then the book would have not been depressing and I would have enjoyed it quite a bit more.
