Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

3.0

I found this a little difficult to get into, and I wasn't really a huge fan of the ending either. Lots of interesting ideas, Huxley does a good job of world-building and then the exposition of that world to the reader. I think I was a little letdown in that this book had been hyped as a rival to Orwell's 1984, and I didn't find it nearly as compelling or as "scary" as Orwell's work. Honestly, towards the end, I almost wished I could have lived in Huxley's world. Your life sucks and you have a shit job, but you've been conditioned to like it anyway? Sounds fantastic.
