Review: 1984

1984 by George Orwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonderful book, absolutely loved it. A vast amount of twists. A really strong story and point of view, about modern society and how we live (or think we live). This is definitely a must read for every person out there, and all those who claim to be part of any political side and a party member. The way Orwell strikes our perception of society simply majestic, and brave I would say.

If this is not spoiler well just in case.
There is no thought without language, no way of self-expression, newspeak is all you need. They melt your brain and you love it. Forget society as you know it, forget freedom, forget life as yours, you are a party member now. And remember you can commit any crime you wish, any heresy and they can always find you.

Review: Linguistics

Linguistics by David Crystal
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The version I've read was, in fact, really short. This book has some interesting point of views yes, but I wanted to see more. Nevertheless is a good pocket book. I'd check it again probably.

In spring

Blue is the sky outside, 

with the clouds and birds around, 

and the breeze of wind 

Review: Rushed

Rushed by Brian Harmon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is simply so, so, random. The story is well OK, nothing really original, you probably have read similar stuff but, well told. Nonetheless, it's hilarious, I laughed many time with how stupid some reactions were, some characters and certain phrases. It's a rather cool book really entertaining, if you are up to something randomly enjoyable. Also I read it on Audio book so, it's randomness was even better with the narrator's voice playing around with the characters.
