Journal Entry 1 by wingKateKintailwing from Burke, Virginia USA on Sunday, June 03, 2007

10 out of 10

Bought at a library used book sale.

This is an utterly fantastic book- amazing and startling. I never tire of reading it, getting drawn into the world and the struggle of the characters.

It's the Commemorative 1984 Edition and contains a great preface by Walter Cronkite.

Back cover summary-
The year 1984 is finally upon us, and George Orwell's phrophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becomming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "Negative Utopia"- a startlingly original and powerful novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

This is the fourth of my Art in the Pages Releases. I plan to leave one BookCrossing book in the wild by each sculpture. This is the Patrick Henry Library book (Site 16) displaying first lines in literature. So I left a book that has a line featured on the statue (the first line of 1984 is there by the clock). Find out more about the Art in the Pages Program of Fairfax.

Released for 366 Leap into the Wild Challenge & By the Numbers (8=August) & Crazy Eights/8 is Great Challenge
