Off my mother's shelf in adolescence. I thought: this is what a writer is, not knowing. Notables: concentration on book-size photograph of Huxley looking sexy and genius on hardback cover. Later Houellebecq would refer to the Huxleys, who also could be said was reared/educated experimentally as himself, as M. Shelley, as somewhat, myself. So to produce science fictions? Maybe.

Exhaustive. Not the most amazing writing style, but CERTAINLY packed full of info on Aldous and anyone he was close with. I enjoyed it to the very end. But then again, I am a die hard Huxley fan (read : loser). haha.
