Frightening New World

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2000
Review: My reaction to works usually classified as science fiction depends more on their philosophy than their invention. In other words, I care less about what the citizens of, say, X-World do, than what their behavior has to say about our own society...

This book was quite thought provoking.

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2000
Review: Aldous Huxleys' Brave New World was quite thought provoking. Mr. Huxley draws the reader straight into his non-utopian society. This is not as Dark and menacing as 1984 with Big Brother watching every move. But similarities show the power that lies...

Satirical Future

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great details and vidid descriptions, made for reading by someone very interested. Should not be forced onto people in schools, they won't understand if they don't want to.
Review: Starting in my Grade 9 year I began to ask a question which seemed simple to me... rather than trying to find the 'meaning of life' I decided to go further. I made the assumption that we already knew the meaning, but no one would tell me for some...

Welcome to the Brave New World!

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2000
Review: I was forced into reading Brave New World as a class assignment. After my teacher had built the book up all year, I was expecting a disappointment, but Huxley impressed me. The novel's depiction of sex, drug use, and the idea of adopted religious...

Brave Old World

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2000
Review: In the beginning you are confused. In the middle you are intrigued. In the end you are amazed.

Aldous Huxley's wonderfully written novel, Brave New World, is a fantasy of the future. It questions where we are currently heading in this...

An easy read with a point to make.

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2000
Review: Imagine living in a world where you're provided somas (painkillers) for everyday life. A world where women never have to have children. A world where promiscuity is encouraged and monogamy is ridiculous. It may sound either too good or really bad,...

Savage is as Savage does.

Date of Review:  May 25, 2000
Review: Mass production for optimum efficiency and reliability is at the heart of Brave New World. Henry Ford (the Ford -- make the sign of the T now), the father of assembly-line production is the deity of the masses (the only one allowed) and all a fully...

simply written dystopia

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2000
Review: This novel contains some very telling points about our society that should not be overlooked. The first is that there will always be people who question the status quo. The second is that the majority of the people will be content to take soma and...

Centrifugal Bumblepuppy, Anyone?

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you read the cliff notes instead, you suck.
Review: I was never a studious character.

Not to say I was stupid; not at all. Rather, I was just smart enough to realize how much work had to be done in order to achieve the end goal -- ie a high school diploma. So in all my classes (well, not...

A Hierarchial Scale of Madness

Date of Review:  May 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: I you would enjoy a cautionary tale that provokes the mind with questions of dystopia and the destruction of the individual, this novel is most definitely for you.
Review: Many books, such as Aldous Huxley's classic "Brave New World" go beyond the scope of science fiction: they are also meant to be used as a cautionary tale, to warn the reader of future possibilities in daily life.

By showing what the future...
