This book was wild, just wild. At first I was stunned as to what was going on in this creepy cloning civilization, but then it got real interesting. It was as if Bernard was the glitch in The Matrix questioning what everyone just swallowed as truth without any thought. Then there was the visit to the Reservation, which was stark and strange. The woman who was left there was sadly unable to adjust back to the New World, and her son 'Mr Savage' seemed to be having an existential crisis. He loved Lenina, and she loved him, but he couldn't accept her ways. I'm not sure I liked the book as much as I was shocked by it, and it surely had you thinking.
