olivialandryxo 's review for:

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
2.0

I read this for my Lit Foundations class. Next week is the end of the semester and I don’t have to return in January, so you can see why I’m completely lacking motivation right now. I didn’t want to read this book. I didn’t like this book. I wouldn’t recommend this book.

I can see why people claim it’s thought-provoking. I can see why people who give a crap about books written in previous centuries might find value in these pages. However, I believe it’s a strange, boring book that is poorly written and hard for those of us not savvy in science to understand. It’s similar to 1984, which I despised with every fiber of my 5’0 being. I didn’t despise this book, but it definitely dragged and I’m glad to be done with it.

Thank u, next. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
