A very good book that truly shows why it's held in such a high regard among the classics.
A very terrifying utopia where everything we do and think is controlled by the government. There were some passages in the book that really left me speechless and reconsidering everything in life.

In my opinion this book was ahead of its time on so many levels, although to be fair, the story of the protagonist fails to be as enticing. But in the end I liked how things unfolded, it captured greatly the essence of the world the book is trying to depict, with all its grimness and desolate feelings.

I felt this book was the novelization of The Prince, and I loved the execution of it. I'd definitely recommend it to a lot of people and look forward to rereading it in the future.
