I am not really a of the way Huxley writes in general. I like the ideas, think that they are good although they become a little repetative when you start reading more of his works. It just feels like good ideas not written properly. Also he seems to think that his opinions are oh so revolutionary when in reality from this perspective he is nothing but stuck in his ways. All in all the writing is kind of pretentious with not much to show for it.  It's okay at best and far from extraordinary.
