The ending caught me so off-guard. I was listening to the Andrew Wincott audiobook and it had a half an hour left (turned out it was the Appendices).
I think I had false information about the ending (kind of ironic given the story) as I thought it would end with the government falling, the Party dissolving and Big Brother being toppled. But Winston cracked. I genuinely felt bad for him. He literally lost everything, even the assurance that his memories were real.
This book was honestly a shock to read. For awhile with Julia and Mr. Charrington, things were so good. But then it all fell apart. Honestly this was amazing. Loved it.
