Overrated. The concept was interesting, the execution was underwhelming and poor. The characters were flat and mostly uninteresting. Definitely not likeable either. I just could not care what happened to them. Huxley failed to connect the reader (me) with the story.
The last 40 pages of the book were alright but not good. Nevertheless, those last pages were better than the first 190 pages of the novel. The only reason why I read it in a week's time is because I wanted to stop being tortured by Huxley's plain, boring and quite problematic (he was an American in the 1930's) writing.
