I had such a difficult time getting involved in this book. The characters were weak and underdeveloped. I had little interest in the events and world that Huxley created. The end saved the book a little for me with the discussion between Mustapha Mond and the savage before his hermitage to the lighthouse. Other than that, I was quite uninterested with the end. I had no connection with the savage so it was difficult to feel any emotions with his demise. This came on the heels of Anna Karenina which has the strongest character development I've encountered in fiction thus far.
