Title: A "1984" for America in the new millenium
Review: I wish this book could be dropped, like leaflets during wartime, on all of the 'red' states. I watched the excellent movie adaptation of this book a few years ago and finished reading the book for the first time this morning.All I can say is WOW! What's more amazing, and scary, is that this book was published 20 years ago! When Offred relates in a passage of how the President and half of Congress were killed and it was blamed on Islamic terrorists, my blood literally ran ice-cold.Many reviewers have cited similarities to the actions of the current Bush administration. My bigger fear is what will come next? With most of the media acting like lapdogs of the multi-national corporations that sign their paychecks, while they perform any trick that Karl Rove and company orders, the citizenry is being lulled into an increasingly deep complacency.
Is the review positive or negative?
