I don't know about "shits all over 1984"! I haven't read that since I was a teenager but from what I remember they're very different (other than the subject matter being very similar). I do need to re-read that and A Brave New World at some point.

Orwell’s prose has its place (see E.g. Homage to Catalonia) but that place isn’t in a novel like 1984. The tone is too bloodless and journalistic, I find it lacks the necessary affect to make the book what it should be. Classic formal error.
