A review by kcsmith
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
3.0
I am torn on how to rate this book. This book has an extremely important message for our world today in terms of seeking and prioritizing personal comfort and pleasure over truth. Additionally, the forward thinking of the author from 1932 in terms of technology advances is pretty impressive. So, for those reasons I consider it a classic and would rate it 5 stars.
However, the plot somewhat dragged at times and I started to lose interest in the characters. So, for that reason, I only rate it 3 stars. I do recommend reading it though because it is a helpful perspective on our times and I do see people referring to the book in contemporary discussions.
