Aside from the very tragic and abrupt ending, I enjoyed this book. I loved how John was throwing all the Soma out of the window, trying to set people free. It was very interesting and a pretty easy read.

Okay book. Does seem kinda archaic in a Sci-Fi sense. Reminds me a bit of a happy-go-crazy version of 1984. A friend described it as more akin to Farenheit 451, but it's been so long since I read that I can't really comment.

Short, so it can be read quickly, but just so-so to me. Can't really pinpoint why. Just...kinda glad I'm done with it.
