I liked the book but I guess I expected more after all the hype created around it. 
 Even so, I liked it. However, there are some things that I felt that didn't fit in the book. For example, when (view spoiler)[ Julia and Winston go to visit O'Brien and discover themselves even without being sure at all that he was someone reliable (hide spoiler)]. After the description of society given by Winston, I thought they were going to be more subtle, I don't know, but it caught my attention in a negative way. 
 However, I liked the book and the main characters, I enjoyed reading the relationship they built between them. I also liked the way Orwell played with the creation of words and how they change the way a society thinks or acts. That is something real even now and Orwell (as Hemingway) was very concerned about it. He really believed in the power of words, and he was very conscious about how politicians played with them to depict reality in the most convenient way. I think we all can recall some clear and recent examples of it in the news. 
 The book represents a scary "reality" or at least, a scary posibility not so far from today's politics, so I would recommend it. We all need to have this vision to understand in a better way what is happening today.
