Summary: Best Book Ever
Review: Huxley provides a gloom view on utopia. Absolutely marvelous. Truely makes you consider why everything is the way it is.

Summary: huxley succeeds where orwell and rand fail
Review: brave new world is a fantastic book. it succeeds as a negative-utopian, pro-individualist book where 1984 and anthem fail. this is because it cries out in favor of emotion and reason at the same time. huxley puts on a pedestal not the solitary human, but humanity as a virtue, with all its weaknesses and inconsistencies making it truly perfect.

Summary: Disillusioned
Review: I love the book. One thing to remember when reading this book is; it was written in 1932. That makes it scary. I am not giving it five stars because it loses its appeal after each time I re-read it.

Summary: open your eyes, read it, THEN THROW IT AWAY
Review: BNW a novel with many labels: utopian, dystopian, sci fi, a metaphor of the present, a warning of the future, a great book, a companion to 1984...I only half read it in high school. I don't think it should be part of standard curriculum, just as I don't think Fahrenheit 451 should be. Huxley and Bradbury's bursting desire to make the world aware of the disorienting menace of media and information control is wasted on adolescents. The book IS thought-provoking, though I wish it had been a short story. As such it would never as been as popular: the characters ARE interesting, but Huxley relies upon THEM to explain everything. The only descriptions are left to them, and as storytellers, they all fall far short of extraordinary. This is not a world I would want to live in. And 1984 is better written.

Summary: My favorite book
Review: I was coaxed by my father to read this book as a sophomore in high school. Now, six years later, I go back all of the time to reread this book. It is one of those books that forces you to step back and take a look at your own life, to see the insanity of your own existence. The scene where John finds his mother dying in the hospital and children are going through death desensitization is so disturbing and difficult that I find myself in tears by the end of the chapter. This book is a masterpiece, the best of its kind.

Summary: The book of the century
Review: It's the book of the century, well, the book of the millenium, well, the best book written since someone picked up a pencil and invented writing.

Summary: 70% Enjoyable
Review: I wouldn't call this book "The best written book of all time," but as a reader who finds she reads through "rock" books until she strikes "gold," I must say that this was a pretty good rock. Time and again I've read books that portray their vision of the future, but to no notable avail. This book however, stuck with me as POSSIBLE. Because the general setting and technology is within our grasp (if only scientifically, not morally) I found it intriguing. I label this book "As realistic as anything possible is" and rate it (1-10) a Seven.
Rating:
Summary: Incoherent and absentminded.
Review: This book has many good thought inducing ideas as well as an amazingly provocative plot. The only problem is starting the book and some of the more gnarled chapters. When starting the book you have to get in to the correct frame of mind. The book does not do this for you. My other grievance is with one chapter. The style in which it is written makes the reader work relatively hard to concentrate on what is being said.

Summary: not bad, but not my kind of story
Review: Although most feel that it's well written and great, I wasn't able to get into it too well. My advice...Try it out...I feel better for having read it.
