Excellent
Words can't describe how powerful this book
is - because it's true! Everybody should read this and compare it to their
own lives, society as a whole and to the future. It can change peoples
lives...

Better than "Brave New World"!
Essential handbook for understanding the
wretched lives of those so unfortunate as to live in the later part of
the 20th century, or something like that! Great read. Hard to put down.
Clearly expounds the writers very motivations to write a book like "Brave
New World". A true classic in its own right!

A gloomy but truthful glimpse at the
future.
This book puts forth the argument that a
society as depicted in Brave New World is likely to be the end result
of mankind if we don't do something to prevent it from happening. This
is an all-too valid argument. Huxley claims that through overpopulation
and the survival of the physically and mentally inferior our race will
be put into such a state that a totalitarian regime will eventually be
able to seize control and eventually prevent those under its control from
realizing their predicament. I go to school with plenty of morons and blind
optimists who would do nothing to stop such a despicable form of government
from taking control. Above all, this book is a plea for democracy, freedom,
and intelligence which needs to be heeded.

Excellent book
This is a great book! Huxley's portrayal
of his Dystopian society invokes a lot of thought and is really an enjoyable
read. If you want to read a book that gets away from your usual sci-fi
stuff, read this.
