I can not be convinced that there is not some sort of misogyny from the author's side behind this. He gives everyone some kind of good quality or shows how men are multifaceted and his depictions of women are just... not it

"He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women and above all the young ones who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies" blah blah
Ew sorry but this is pissing me off. This is not true and historically never has been.

So I'm really burned out recently and I'm holding on by a thread to try and get out of this. I can rarely get myself to pick up a physical book nowadays both due to depression and a lack of time. So this is my attempt to get back into reading at least through an audiobook.
I'm not sure what expectations I'm getting into this with. On the one hand I always hear how genius this book is and on the other hand I heard how misogynistic and rapey the author writes women. Let's give it a shot

Personally, I did not like this book. It is not for me. BUT it is for someone else for sure.
I went into this with the wrong expectations and therefore did not get what I wanted. And that's not the author's fault.
Maybe some critiques to make is the pacing especially at the beginning.
Personally I don't feel connected to the characters and the plot bores me. I just don't feel like reviewing this more since I feel like this book did not catch me at all and therefore it would be unfair to review more
