This book gave me big Narcissistic Christian White Man TM energy. It did make me think about theoretical societal concepts though. Quite comedic at times (

I have been scarred by “Orgy Porgy”

), but Huxley pats himself too much on the back for me to enjoy much of the book. And all the characters are just pieces in his game of Making a Point, so there's not much connection or development really, just the plot as his prediction for the dystopian future society. I only rated as high as I did because it was coherent and introduced ideas that made me think about society today.
