Island by Aldous Huxley
by Aldous Huxley, Aldous Huxley
adventurous
informative
sad
medium-paced
Aldous Huxley uses his writing to show you the potential of good in people and how the corruption of a society can smash that goodness like it was nothing. This book is a book that makes the reader think of their oneness with the world and the potential of good a society of people can have when greed is schooled out in an early age. Even tasks that curve the overtly strong or weak in a society can bring a happiness to each's soul while being a part of a functioning community. This dystopian, as all dystopia's do, also shows how greed and uneducated doctrines can easily corrupt an entire system when power is put in the wrong hands. This entire book gives a sense of hope and even begins to convert the narrator from a previous POV, but the end makes you face the true reality of it all and the sadness to come.
