I used to think 1984 was kinda bad politically but a good book in general, then I read Isaac Asimov's critique and now I think it's just trash lol. Never before has a critique made me go "wow, I thought it was good while I was reading it but... Holy shit it really IS bad, I didn't think of all this stuff" to such an extent.
