Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

5.0

If you ever feel that you need your life re-affirming, that you no longer appreciate your freedom or if you think life on drugs is better than reality. If you ever need to read real thought - provoking literature, with feeling and controversy and humour... you MUST read Brave New World. I firmly believe that this and 1984 are two of the only books who have made me realise that I'm not alone, they have made me feel the power of literature. They are literary genius. Dystopian novels are an art. And in this world I am both Winston Smith and Bernard Marx. Just less of a sell - out. I am The Savage and the savage is me. We need misery to enjoy our happiness and we have hunger for sadness to appreciate love. An absolutely stunning book.
