What Members Thought

I stopped reading it after half way through because I got so disturbed by it, and then picked it up again after a month because I still wanted to finish it. I don't like dystopian novels very much and this book is no exception. However, I have to say that this book is a masterpiece and Huxley is a prophetic genius. This book is an accurate, yet disturbing prediction of the current world (83 years after its first publication!) we are living in, and it is very scary.

Disturbing for sure.... Pretty amazing that it was written in the 30's...
