About this listen
The novel has become famous for its portrayal of surveillance and society's increasing encroachment on the rights of the individual. Since its publication, the terms Big Brother and Orwellian have entered the popular vernacular. This is a special celebratory release to celebrate 60 years since Nineteen Eighty-Four was first published.
©2009 CSA Word (P)2009 CSA WordI learned more about human nature in 1984 and there were meaningful concepts in it that I will remember for life, eg, Child Hero & 2 minutes of hate.
Chapter 4 was my favourite chapter. He reads the forbidden book in this chapter and the concepts in that book are patently relevant in 2020 as they clearly were when Orwell wrote this book.
Overall I enjoyed the book and the voice reading it. I became lost in its world from time to time.
A must read.

What made the experience of listening to Nineteen Eighty-Four the most enjoyable?
The performance was great and the story is very interesting even if it is not a new concept anymore it put a different light on it. Also when you take into perspective then it was written it scares you how some how some things are accurate.What does Philip Glenister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He doesn't express emotions when he reads which make it you feel like you observe this dystopian world from a distance.Not for paranoid people...

If you could sum up Nineteen Eighty-Four in three words, what would they be?
Seminal and prosaicWhat did you like best about this story?
One of the most important works of fiction of the 20th century (only 'just' fiction given its social realism and relevance). Should be read by every teenager and re-read by every adult.What does Philip Glenister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Does a great job at breaking up the parts and characters.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
