If I were to rate this book from 1-10, I would rate it -13/10 (I’m being generous). This book was DEFINETLY not for me. The reason why I didn’t like the book ‘All Quiet On The Western Front’ was because I just didn’t find it interesting. When it comes to ‘Brave New World’ I’m just left dumbfounded and wondering WHO THE HELL COULD ACTUALLY ENJOY A BOOK LIKE THIS?! WHO WOULD EVEN WRITE THIS THING AND BRING IT TO LIFE?! So, my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to do my research. Oh my, my, my the things I have discovered. This book is a popular book… to be banned. I’ll just end with that because I’m supposed to talk about my personal opinion and not mention anything from google (I broke that rule. Whoops!), so allow me to get back on track. I found this book stupid and if it weren’t for being forced into reading this book, I would’ve never touched it, never looked at it, not know about it’s existence, and I would’ve been happy… living my nice innocent life. At the moment, I dnf this book, but I’m getting there. Even when I will finish it, I don’t think my opinion will change.
If this book had a different story, different characters, different author, different cover, different name, and ENTIRELY different events, then I would’ve loved this book and maybe even read it twice. I don’t want to say everything bad about this book, but it left me no choice I COMPLETELY LOATHE THIS BOOK! It should’ve come with a warning. In my opinion, Aldous really wasted such a good title on such a terrible piece. I don’t want to say everything bad about the author, so I won’t. He’s creative. I’ll give him that. Not really in a good way, but still. I mean, his writing style wasn’t bad. It could be more clear, but I’d say I understood it well and the way it was written made it interesting. Especially how the text painted a picture in my head (most of the scenes in the book made this a bad thing). I would love for Aldous to write a book about literally anything else. For my sake and everyone else’s. If I were to recommend the book ‘Brave New World,’ I would recommend it to no one because it would make me sound insane. Right after someone asks me, “What is this book even about?” I can already see myself making a ‘I’m screwed face.’
If you want to keep your psyche protected, listen to my advice and DO NOT READ BRAVE NEW WORLD!
