im sorry if you wanted a good reveiw of this book i really don't know a great deal about literature (i even had to look up the spelling in dictionary.com). just like to comment that the idea of 'newspeak' is absolutly awsome. it's something i come across quite a lot when thinking about all sorts of things, this last happend to me on saturday when i was thanking about why i like the music i listen to. (i guess its hardly a surprising link but i didn't really expect it)
