i tried reading that. i really couldn't get into it. i felt like i was pissing the author off just by reading it.
Strange, it was the other way round for me.

Does anyone think that 1984 is too adult or in at least a literary perspective, to advanced for a 13 year old? In an attempt to help my brother for the new A level style entry that my school has decided to employ for me and the future years...I am trying to get him reading, is 1984 too advanced for an intelligent yet uninterested child?
Not sure. It could be borderline - a lot of the subtext has to do with freedom and love and responsibility and things that a 13 year old might not be able to get. Also rats... goddamn those rats.
