Rating: Summary: could be so much more Review: In this book there seems to be something missing. I love the world Huxley creates, but he goes for the obvious. In other words, I could tell where the book was going to go when Bernard suggested taking the Savage to the real world. There is so much more that Huxley could have done with the world he creates. I should say that when I first finished the book I probably would have given the book 4 or 5 stars. However, after thinking about the book for a few days I realized this is a 3 to 3 1/2 star book.
Rating: Summary: I like how all of the little kids got laid! Review: I like how all of the little kids got laid!
Rating: Summary: Brilliance in the proverbial bottle Review: This book is probably my all time favourite . Though the characters are not the most established and strong in literature they al in some way represent the idiosyncracies and feeling in us all whither they be doubtful or lustful. It is mainly the concepts and storyline of this book that captured me. Written in 1932 it deals with today and tommorows issues forboding the 'grand society' so many people long for . A must read, hopefully when you're in you're teenage years. When you are done, read 'Brave New World Revisited'.
Rating: Summary: Great Review: this book is great, it is the best book ever written
Rating: Summary: ABSOLUTELY NO STARS FOR THIS ONE, JIM BOB! Review: Just kidding. I loved it. Five billion stars all around.
Rating: Summary: An orderly world of labratory produced babies exists. Review: It is amazing how Aldous Huxley created a conditioned society 70 years ago, that reflects so much of what is going on in the world of 1999. John Savage's character represents a hopelessness that art, literature, and religion are to be extint and have no place in a secure pleasure seeking environment.
Rating: Summary: book of the century Review: this is the greatest book i have ever read.. i voted for it as book of the century.. don't hesitate to read this book..
Rating: Summary: whats so brave about the world? Review: I loved the book, my title was used to draw attention. I think the book should be a must on any English Teacher's sylabus.
Rating: Summary: Brave New World is Huxley's vision of a frightening future. Review: Huxley has epitomized the futuristic world everyone wishes for but cannot live in. He tells a tale of a corrupt future where people are kept drugged to be happy. An amazing world with no morals or conscience. Except for one man, born outside the controlled Utopia of the modern world. He is a comparison for a person of our modern world. This is a great book and I highly recommend it for any reader intersted in what will happen in the future.
Rating: Summary: This Book Is Truely Original Review: I have never read a book so thought provoking! It was so good! I was introduced to so many new ideas I had never previously considered. The politics in it are astouding. It is also an actual realistc science fiction novel which are rare to come by. It is narrated beautifully, with a storyline which is both interesting and intelligent.
