This book is really well written and I enjoyed reading it. That being said, the plot of this book is vile and the ending is absolutely tragic. Any reason I take off stars from this book is simply subject matter, not being it’s written poorly.

Hated it.
This was suggested as a follow up to 1984 and it's just...not the same.

This book was not at all what I expected, but it was worth reading. To me the historical context is particularly interesting, to see what Huxley imagined to warn future generations of what not to become. While the message of the book seemed somewhat unclear to me, I found some of the philosophical elements to be interesting to entertain.
