I remember a feeling of disappointment or sorry at the end of Brave New World, a feeling that there was no hope. I like Ape and Essence because the reader is left with at least a sliver of hope that the main characters are going to be alright, find happiness and love. It was a book that examines religion and science and power and the masses. I was struck many times over by strong parallels to our current society and at one point found myself asking very hard questions about the lives we all live. It all began to see so completely absurd. The beginning is a little bit slow, but managed to keep me in tow.
