Huxley’s Brave New World-- Response 1 of 4

Photobucket


Currently being read, annotated and loved by me, Alana Tapales. After reading the title and then looking at the brackground picture of comformity and lack of individuality, I felt a smile creep up on my lips and hasitly, I read the back. The New York Times Book Review was quoted saying, “It is a frightening experience…to discover how much [Huxley’s] satirical view of a distant future became reality at so short a time.” By likeing to this book has increased a trifle and I knew that I am going to enjoy this read. What made it even better was that this novel was originally publishsed in 1932! Can you believe that? I agree with Kazzandra when she says in her post, “Having first been published in the 1930's, it may be similar to those stories I've hear about psychic men who create clear depictions of modern society that almost seem too real that it becomes scary. I expect much from this book; being part of the 101 books for college bound students as it is. Another thing that I found interesting was that the description of this book reminded me of another book: 1984 by George Orwell. I was reading a first few pages but then I needed to return it to the pwnder, but to me, the two books seem similar.
