Never before have I read such an overrated novel, and I’m including 1984 in that. There is absolutely nothing of value here. There is not one memorable scene, not one character worth caring about. It’s a hollow, boring slog from start to finish, and the only reason (YOU) might be pretending to like it is because you think you're supposed to.

And before anyone starts talking about how its good because of le “symbolism,” let’s all agree that it’s the lowest-hanging fruit when it comes to trying to pass your writing off as “literary.” Toss in a green light, make it vaguely sad sounding, and suddenly it turned a turd into a masterpiece? Nigga please.
