1984 by George Orwell

I am in the middle of the book 1984 by George Orwell. It is a book written in the early 1900's, and because of that I've found it really hard to read. Orwell's writing style is very old-fashioned, and I sometimes think that he goes into too much detail. The protagonists, Julia and Winston, are both a part of the Party that takes England over. Winston slowly changes to discover that he actually is against the Party. They both slowly change to be more risky and they slowly become less cautious, until Julia tells Winston that she loves him. Together they find a group against the Party. I think Orwell was trying to portray what he thought England would be like in the 1980's. Orwell's writing style has also made it hard to keep going, because I have to read paragraphs 3 or 4 times until I understand the connection to the story. Overall though, the story is good, but there is a lot of between-the-line reading that I have to do to really understand the deeper meaning of some things he says.
