Kilak dystopii już się przez moje ręce przewinęło. Dlatego zdziwiłem się, gdy polecono mi pozycję mocno juz leciwą, o której o dziwo nie słyszałem. Zawstydzony tym faktem nie miałem dużego wyboru. Trzeba było ksiażkę zlokalizować i uzupełnić braki. Autor przedstawia nam świat przyszłości w okolica...
I've been on a mission to read some classics. Some of them I've read before, but it was way back in high school. Others have somehow escaped my reading list. Brave New World is one that I read as a teenager and it stuck with me. I was glad to finally read it again as an adult. One thing that struc...
Ok. 2.5 stars. Nothing more. Nothing less. I confess, I didn't finish it. I had high hopes for this book (out of respect for his previous—Brave New World is still in my thoughts regularly). But after getting through the ridiculously cliché characterization of the "Rani," I had to put it down. This c...
Readers of the modern day plethora of young adult/science fiction/dystopia/thrillers will find some familiar comforts in Huxley's work of speculative fiction. But they're also in for quite the shock. In the grand scheme of things, I don't remember any YA dystopian being this dark and hopeless, h...
I was forced to read this in High School and hated it. So this year I decided to read all of the books school murdered for me and I've go to be honest. I disliked this even more than before. I was simply outraged at the story from start to finish. Maybe that was what Huxley wanted me to feel. But He...
As I was reading this book parts of the story were somewhat familiar to me, though I cannot really say that it isn't original since most of the familiarity comes from stories that were produced long after this book originally hit the selves. One particular movie that comes to mind is 'Demolition Man...
This is not the debut one would expect from Aldous Huxley. 'Brave New World's bleak future was bitterly funny and absurd and told clinically. 'Crome Yellow's humor is bright satire with any foreshadowing of the future undercut by the ridiculousness of everyone involved.Crome is an English country ho...
Going into this, I was basically fearing 1984 all over again—I’d been extremely disappointed by Orwell’s novel (though I loved Animal Farm when I first read it), and I was slightly terrified that Brave New World would end up exactly the same way. For the most past, it kept me more interested, althou...
Wow, just wow... This is going to take some time to digest. This I chose as my banned book for the 2015 Pop Sugar reading challenge, and after reading it I can see why. Drugs, sex and conditioning all combine to create a "utopian" stable society, in which test tube babies are the norm, and the id...
