I Needed Some Soma to Get Through This Book

Date of Review:  Oct 10, 2000
Review: Warning: I spoil the plot... what little there is.

Not a week goes past that a Brave New World reference doesn't pass through my lips. Even before I read the book, I'd throw around references to Soma and alphas, and occasionally throw in a...

A MUST READ!!

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2000
Review: This is an amazing book that I could not put down. one of the classics like 1984 that takes your world and gives you the perspective of it turned upside down and inside out. Huxley takes societal power to the extreme in this novel and shoves in your...

Started as a class assignment, turned into a lot of fun

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2000
Review: The book is a about a society of people who, through a scientific process, have been bred in specific ways, ranging from the Alphas, who are the politicians and the most intelligent, to the Epsilons, the ones that are the dumb worker type. It's a...

Huxley is fantastic

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2000
Review: This book is set in the future, but as we progress into the twenty-first century with breakthroughs in genetic engineering and cloning, it is becoming disturbingly more similar with our world today. Our trends are pointing to a braver world like in...

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2000
Review: I've just finished this book recently, so this struck me as the best time to write an opinion, the final lines still fresh in my mind.

Brave New World begins with plenty of description. So much so, in fact, that I was afraid that the story...

Praise Ford and pass the soma

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2000
Review: I stumbled across this book on the family bookshelf after some of the other kids in English class did a book report on it. I figured I might as well try it. I had managed to read at least half of 1984 after all.

If you've read 1984 and...

Brave New World

Date of Review:  May 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's the exact opposite of 1984, but the same in many ways.
Review: I recently finished reading Orwell's 1984 and immediately started reading Huxley's Brave New World thereafter. Both of these books are often compared because they both offer contrasting predictions of the future.

In Brave New World, the...

The Assembly Line

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2000
Review: How can begin to express words concerning the lives of individuals who have made or have only begun to make a difference? Two such characters, John the Savage, from Brave New World, and Hester Prynne, from The Scarlett Letter, show how their...

Daring to be different

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a fantastic book which chronicles a possible future of mankind. It is startlingly realistic and a must read novel.
Review: It seems almost ironic. Brave New World chronicles a place where individuals are no longer allowed to express true personal opinions. They are brain-washed and molded into strange, submissive, drug-addicted creatures. And yet, here I am writing my...
