It's a classic, and very good dystopian world building, but the plot didn't really click with me.

A chilling and eerily prescient read. Huxley’s vision of a perfectly engineered society feels both sterile and sinister. The scariest part is how plausible it still feels. It’s not a page turner, but it lingers with you in uncomfortable, important ways.
