Well-written, entertaining, and educational.  Reading it helped me appreciate the innumberable examples of 1984-ish doublethink, disinformation, propaganda, and language manipulation rampant even in relatively free 21st Century Western Civilization.
But I think I liked it mostly because I'm a sucker for happy endings.
