*2.5 STARS* Based on the fact that this was labeled "a classic" and a "must-read", I expected to be blown away, but I really thought this was odd. While I was entertained in parts, I found some of it to be quite daunting. I thought that the premise was interesting, especially considering that i...
I read Brave New World for English literature, and it really made me want to read more Dystopian literature (I soon afterwards read 1984, Lord of the Flies, The Handmaid's Tale and Fahrenheit 451). I particularly liked the beginning. It was so strong, throwing us into the world and the absurd idea...
The idea behind the book is interesting, but the story, the setting and the author's voice is stupid and depressing.Sorry, but by the fourth chapter I closed the book, and reading the summary plus comments from some website I decided to ditch this.I wanna read book filled with hope, realism and opti...
I've had this book on my TBR for about 4 or 5 years now and I'm so glad I was finally able to pick it up. It was absolutely everything I thought it was going to be. I was so engrossed and literally couldn't put it down. Mindblowingly fantastic (in my opinion anyways).Brave New World is about a socie...

I was struck on my recent science-fiction reading binge, how quickly that genre dates. With Brave New World I checked and rechecked the copyright date (1932) with disbelief, given it has television as a cultural force, (checking the Wiki, it says television was commercially available since the late ...
Im Jahre 2540 werden Menschen nicht mehr geboren, sie werden produziert. Sollen Alpha-Plus werden (Führungskräfte) bekommen sie dementsprechende Zusatzstoffe, sollen sie aber Epsilon-Minus (einfache Arbeiter) werden, müssen sie weder gut aussehen, noch besonders intelligent sein, und vor allem nicht...
What a strange future Huxley created, but definitely a thematically interesting one. I can see similarities to Veronica Roth's Divergent in the way people are conditioned to certain beliefs in order to fit a particular mold. It is also reminiscent of Delirium, a world conditioned without love or wh...
This was first published in 1932. I don't know enough about science to separate truth from imagination. But when I learn more about cloning and the possibilities of DNA manipulation I will read this again.Brave New World... Brave New World... It reminds me of the The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.Socie...
