5 stars

Faut-il relire "Mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-quatre" ?
Ma réponse est clairement oui.
Et pour de bonnes raisons :

They will do anything to get it, and do anything to keep it. This is all done in a fictional world, but sometimes it really feels like you're reading non-fiction, due to how completely possible the world created is. Many values shown in the book, you hear and see about …
