It was that the allegory was so obvious, and the use of animals to make the point so useless. As a literary exercise, it was cool. The idea was solid, he's obviously a tremendous writer and I'm sure it took more than a little thought. I just didn't enjoy it. To be fair, I haven't tried again in a very, very long time, so who knows?

As for 1984, it's one of the most memorable novels of my childhood.
