This Perfect Day by Ira Levin
5.0
Wow! I loved this book. I love this genre, but I have to say that this may be right up there with 1984 and Brave New World. And what is wonderful about this book is that it is fresh. Yes, it is a dystopian future where humans walk about in a drugged haze, with no passion or personalities. But it's so much more than that. And all the other dystopian books are lingering in your mind, coloring your perception of this book. That makes it all the more enjoyable.
What I love about book like 1984 and This Perfect Day is the truth of humanity we see in it. How humanity yearns for something, even when it doesn't know there is anything else to yearn for. I just...I love it. Thank you, Ira Levin. This was a great book. :)
