All the books I've read so far this year and ratings

A Game of Thrones-George R.R. Martin (Continued from last year) 2/5
An Okay, book, watched the tv show first, read the  first half back in october then dumped it, then picked it up again in april because season 2 was coming out, weird cause for the first book i thought the tv show was better but for the second book i thought the book was better, probably because i watched the tv show first for the first one and watched it after for the second one.
Congo-Michael Crichton  3/5
Good book but dragged on about the technical stuff and characters seemed one sided, i liked amy, she was cute.
A Clash of Kings-George R.R. Martin 3/5
Okay book, end didn't pay off, considering it was almost as long as the entire lord of the rings, battle lasted only a couple of pages, tv show was much worse.
1984-George Orwell 3/5
Good book, seemed ahead of its time and has many simalarities to soviet russia, eg. 2+2=5 was a saying people adopted after Stalin wanted the five year plan to be completed in four years, in 1984 2+2=5 is featured prominently to show freedom of speech.
Brave New World-Aldous Huxley 3/5
Was great until the end, where it became pretty random, characters have very weird names, eg.Lenina Crowne
Fahrenheit 451-Ray Bradbury 3/5
Good book but the ending wasn't very great, characters were well developed, very much liked the setting.
Enders Game-Orson Scott Card 4/5
Great book, characters were rich and well developed, ending ruined it a little bit, hope the movie isn't gonna be a piece of crap.
