Wow. This book is an unexpected page turner, especially for a classic! I was fortunate enough to avoid the ending of this book for years, and I'm glad I did; It did not disappoint! The entire second half was so haunting and suspenseful in a way, and made me reminisce upon my first reading of 1984. This book is an essential read, and is so powerful almost 80 years later.
