A review by pero_tefi
Island by Aldous Huxley

5.0

I do not care that many don't think this is an actual literary writing, maybe it is maybe it isn't but the answer to this question doesn't really matter to me. I adore a book that makes me think, that makes me question, that gives me answers and questions and awakens new interests. And this book did that. It was pretty much a fictional thought process of what I figures out in Humankind a Hopeful History, and it was written by someone ages ago. It was infuriating in some parts, mostly because the problems it speak out on are still happening, it was as if I was reading the point of view of someone who was doing the same analysis as I was about society, and so I noticed that it hasn't changed, the course continues. I will continue thinking about this, and probably investigate about this book and Huxley further, but it was truly fantastic for me to read, giving me hope and making me face reality at the same time.
