Brave New World Audiobook

" My mistake, I thought this was a reading of the novel. It is just a collection of interviews and speeches Aldous Huxley gave. There is also a biography. "

" My mistake, I thought this was a reading of the novel. It is just a collection of interviews and speeches Aldous Huxley gave. There is also a biography. "

" Interesting story that definitely brings up a lot of good philosophical questions and thoughts. Will probably read it again in a few years to see if my view of it changes. "

" I was expecting it to be better but perhaps an unfair comparison to other dystopian future novels like 1984 and This Perfect Day. "

" Brilliant, funny and scary at the same time. "

" It was really good however not quite amazing. More like 4 and a half. "

" I read "Brave New World" when I was going through my utopia-gone-wrong phase. If you want to read "Brave New World" then I recommend reading "This Perfect Day" and "1984." Out of the three books, "This Perfect Day" was my favorite. For some reason, "1984" and "Brave New World" get most of the fame out of the three books. "

" I thought that this book was kind of interesting. It had some strange parts in it and there were a few times when the book was a little hard to understand. Overall though, I'd say that it was an alright book. I like the ending because I thought that it was sad and I found that way they had their society was interesting because they made some people retarded so they couldn't question anything. I also found it very fascinating that they could just control a person's personality that way in the story. This story made me think a little. I thought that the book was pretty good. "

" That he wrote this in the 30's, it's an amazing feat. "

" This is one of the two most famous dystopian novels in the English language. In our age of hyper information and hyper entertainment it may also be the most important. "

" I remember this being more insightful when I read it in high school.... "

" The best way to describe this book is odd! I didn't enjoy the beginning, really enjoyed the middle and was massively underwhelmed by the ending. Classic lovers will I'm sure really enjoy it but if, like me, you read purely for pleasure and entertainment it's probably one to avoid. "

" Favorite book of all time. "

" What can I say other than it's sad that so much of the social criticism in this book remains true. "

" En un mundo civilizado el Salvaje lee a Shakespeare. "

" I hated this book in high school. Ten years later it was a much better read. :) "

" Great attempt at the question : What does 'being civilized' mean ? "

" This blew my mind when i read it - i think mostly because of my love of Shakespeares 'The Tempest' and the intertextuality runing through it. I found it very exiting and i cant say that about a lot of things ive read. "

" A rather chilling view of the future as controlled by the corpratocracy, by Ford! In some ways intriguingly prescient, particularly in regards to the willingness of citizens to seek comfort over freedom. "

" Required Reading. A real thinker, and very interesting. Required in one of the best sections of my literary education. "

" ''Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly- they'll go through anything. You read and you're pierced." Definitely a marvellous sentence! "

" Brave New World is about a Utopian/Dystopian world hundreds of years in the future. BNW was a very interesting read. Fans of the sci fi genre would like this book. "

" I enjoyed the story. The book was written in the early 1930's but the view of the futuristic society has unmistakable connections to the world today. How free, and how individual are we in this brave new world? "

" Felt I needed to read this book, a flagrant hole in my library of dystopia. Interesting ideas but the characters are flat and the story weak. "

" alittle scarey...published in the 1930's & still current in a creepy sort of way??!!! "

" One of the all-time great dystopian novels. It's definitely a classic for good reason. "

" Fascinating and frightening in its implications for religion, love, and individuality, among others. "

" Honestly, I thought it was a lesser version of 1984. "

" I'm doing a tour of utopian and dytopian novels. This one was first...I need to digest some of my thoughts on this and then I'll write more about it, though one thing that is interesting (that I was previously unaware of) is that Aldous Huxley was George Orwell's teacher. "

" Very scary but also very eye-opening. Used in the class unit of my course "Us & Them: Studies on Identity". Borrowed from erf. "

" I thought this book was captivating in the world that it portrayed. However, when I first read it i was, well, nave, and later came to find out that much of the book portrayed loose sex practices. Needless to say I never read it nor will I ever read it again. "

" Perfect vision of the future. Extremaly interesting "
