    I started reading it a few days back. I am still struggling to read it. This guy Winston, thinks so highly of himself, and so lowly of others. He calls his neighbours stupid, them being transferred to a department requiring “less intelligence”, while not being able to string a proper sentence himself when writing. Also his violent fantasies when he first sees Julia. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to continue the story or not. As just a novel, it is so off-putting. Aren’t lead characters supposed to be relatable?
