A review by kristenbooks
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

5.0

Reread in August 2021: I think I'm moving this back to a 5/5. I'm not going to move it on my standalone rankings for now, because I still want a bit of time to ruminate over the themes, etc. but rereading it after nearly a decade, I found it even more poignant than the first time, and it remains my favorite of the classic dystopian novels I've read.

Edit 6-10-16: I decided to change this to 8.5/10 (4/5)

This was one of the first books to convince me that books read for school could actually be interesting. Before this book, I'd never enjoyed reading books for school, but I devoured this one. Maybe it's just because I love dystopians, but I really loved this book. Very great.

9.5/10. (5/5)
