Of course this book is always one I recommend just because of how profound it is, and while a complicated read, I still enjoyed it to the end

Damn this book had me at the start. I thought going through the lab was cool. Then somewhere around chapter 7 this book lost me. The plot fizzled out, the whole “savage resort” I found completely offensive and racist I hated hearing that, and I was just confused. Bernard was the only loveable character, I like how he didn’t conform into everything and questioned the way of life. I still ask my self how this book was appropriate for school? I know it’s a classic but it’s just weird, so many sexual things happening I didn’t even know what they were and group intimate activities. We didn’t get to finish this book in school but I read the summaries on the last few chapters and good grief. I get that this book is meant to be different but it’s on another level of freak!
