Brave New World by Aldous HuxleyMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This started out in an unexpected way, and I thought, okay. Maybe. The concept was interesting, but the execution was problematic for me. There are some amazing quotes, but the world building is a struggle, in terms of presentation. Still, I was willing to give it some time to settle in to a good groove and also, to give it a few passes, due to its age.
Unfortunately, it did not settle in. Instead, it quickly becomes that person in your social media feed who just can’t stop mansplaining. You know the guy. Please don’t be that guy. But, hey, if you are that guy, then this book is perfect for you!

Every time I see mention of this book, I feel rage building inside of me. I'm still scarred from high school English class, lol.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I hated this. So happy my high school teachers didn't make me read it.
