Brave New World (27)

Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
read 10/11/08

I love the dystopian books, and this is one of the classics. I read it first in the early 90's, and have read parts of it recently, but finally sat down and read the whole book. It paints a dark future where people are in pursuit of consumption, and paid in drugs.. and every body is happy... well almost.
Like 1984 this book ends in death.. but it does not seem to have the same punch as 1984. I think the description of the new world is more vivid than 1984, but the actual story suffers a bit. Still a great book and well worth reading.
