Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It took me a little longer to get into this book but I did eventually. I really liked the future world that Huxley built and I can imagine it being a thing today, the smells and sensory stuff. It was a world without problems, without relationships, and without strong emotions. The characters were very interesting, it was especially curious when they would recite things that they were hypnotized to say. John was very different from everyone else because he wasn't hypnotized and read Shakespeare. I didn't like the way he treated Lenina. I didn't expect the ending.
