1984 by George Orwell is a dystopian novel set in a totalitarian society led by a figure known as Big Brother. The story follows Winston Smith, who works at the Ministry of Truth, where he alters historical records to fit the Party’s narrative. Throughout the book, he seeks to form a forbidden relationship with Julia, a fellow Party member. The two become very close to each other during the time they spend together. However, the constant surveillance and strict enforcement by the Thought Police led to their ultimate capture. 

I found this book enjoyable due to its suspenseful nature, filled with unexpected twists and turns. The ambiguous ending felt unsettling, which made it even more intriguing. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dystopian stories or wants a suspenseful story to read.
