Something told me O'Brien wasn't what he seemed. I knew the book was not about Winston and Julia teaming up to rebel and leading people with a big action based moment etc so I figured something would go wrong for him. Also, this part had the pages from Goldstein's book and I thought they went on a little too long. Of course, the information was fascinating but it felt like supplementary material you'd buy to go with the main book because you are super into the world building.
I was more skeptical of Winston's judge of character because he's naive. But I didn't imagine the Thought Police would go to such lengths to catch people. They play long and short games. It's crazy.
I thought Julia and Winston would just exist in this bubble but that it would end some way. There was no way their actions went unnoticed. He was always talking about what gave you away. Even without Charington, when you're in love or content, people notice.
I wanted to get to the why. The details were thick, but I usually take steps back in books within books to see the utility of them. There was a long stretch in the book Misery by Stephen King. But a certain point, though, I was interested in how it turned out. It's like that sometimes.
