Literary speculative sci-fi my beloved….
I don’t think I’ve ever read a book from this time period with pacing this quick, and it was so interesting to me. My copy is all annotated because how could I not underline half the book???!!

The first quarter of the book was the most interesting part, but the story kind of fell flat for me as it went on. Not a bad read, just ok.

However old-fashioned and closed-minded this novel can be, it is worth reading for anyone who wants to ask themselves how much of their thoughts are truly theirs. Even if your interest is a historic one, it is interesting as well

The most problematic book I‘ve read, probably ever. I know it‘s dystopian and when it was written, but that doesn‘t make it okay. Still promoting this as a classic is ridiculous.
