Am I missing something with 1984?

I've read it three times now, and while I think it's good it's nothing, nothing close to the hype. It's just a fairly clunky cliche dytopian thriller with a dark ending.

Was it just an influential book in its day? Is the books relative timelessness and fact it can still apply today? Are the book and I suffering from the Seinfeld effect, is 1984 so genre-defining that I've already gorged myself in it's ideas of a dytopian society?
