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

1.0

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.
