Loetud eestikeelse raamatuna, aastal 2024:
Lugedes jättis palju parema mulje kui kuulates. Võiks öelda, et väga natuke jäi puudu "mulle väga meeldis" hinnangust. Kahjuks raamatu lõpp vajus natuke ära, sest ilmselt ma ei suuda religiooni olulisusega samastuda. Seetõttu tundus lõpus olukord liiga ekstreemseks minevat.
Hoolimata sellest väga nauditav lugemine oli.

Kuulatud inglise keeles audioraamatuna, aastal 2013:
idee, filosoofia ja maailm oli raamatus huvitav põnev, aga lugu ise väga ei tõmmanud mind.

Far and away my favorite dystopian novel. Starting with the dystopian horrors of genetic engineering and ending with a scathing rebuff of both future and modern civilization, this story strikes the balance between engaging story and harsh warning perfectly. It's settling on the importance of struggle and effort is not only incredibly prescient, but serves a stark warning to complacency in a life meant only to satisfy and never to nourish.

"The more stitches the less riches" as people wait hours whether night or rain tot get their hands on the latest Stanley cups collab. "Ending is better than mending" as shiploads of shein and temu and other fast fashion clothing brands get delivered to already overflowing landfills. "Everyone belongs to everyone else" as men who won't go to therapy or work on themselves committ yet another sex crime against women or post another tiktok or tweet about how women think their better than enybody else and will die alone of they don't spread their legs for a man who wouldn't even committ to a relationship, or hates women. Or if women don't spread their legs to bear children, because why else would they be in a relationship, a marriage for? Who else would take care of them when they hit old age? "Everyone works for everyone" as corporations work people to death without paying them so much a cent towards their pension, healthcare, family or livable wages.
