Add a CommentThis is one of my first dips into Dystopian literature. It's intricately crafted with lots of facets of human nature, society, and worth shoved in. Makes you think about a lot of the more difficult questions in life. Is also a little too disturbing in places to fully enjoy, but I have no doubt that that's the point. Would recommend this, but with caution.
Something to think about: a society kept in order by a constant state of shallow happiness where people are conditioned to be content with their class because they're incapable of understanding anything different. More a thinking exercise than a story.
Brave New World is nothing short of brilliant. While many hold up 1984 as the definitive dystopian novel, I respectfully disagree. Orwell created a house of horrors more relevant to the wide-spread fear of totalitarianism when 1984 was written. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of the mass-consumption, mass-media culture full of glitzy ads and airbrushed models all promising a good time, the future predicted in Brave New World has become incredibly apposite to our modern times. It is a book that everyone should read.
It's a very interesting book, but confusing the first few chapters. Overall, Huxley did a good job with wide vocabulary and portraying the possible outcome of the future. But it was fun to read even though it made my head hurt =/
Excellent book, scary. But so well written.
Great book! It was very exciting overall. Huxley did a great job creating a distopian world. I thought it was somewhat believble that certain characters would have differing motives reagarding the society. (Some willing to stand up and fight while most (Deltas etc.) do not realize that they are trapped)
A little confusing during the 1st few pages, but once you keep reading, the story will make sense. Also, I think the savage reservation is a little similar to our society.
A fascinating, yet disturbing book. Not enjoyable, but maybe worth the read just for the cultural references.
okay, cloning fantasy
excellent!!! i love this book its a whole different journey its so good and i just love this book its that good :)
