Book Description:
ALDOUS HUXLEY (1894-1963 British-born novelist, poet, essayist, philosopher and mystic, Huxley was fascinated by the wilder margins of psychology, medicine, the occult, drugs and religion. He was a man of exceptional vision and foresight, and his breadth of learning was astounding. He wrote over 50 books, including such classics as "The Doors of Perception", "Island", and "Brave New World".
"Huxley was a scientist and artist in one, standing for all we most need in a fragmented world where each of us carries a distorting splinter out of some great, shattered, universal mirror. He made it his mission to restore these fragments" - Yehudi Menuhin

A classic vision of a future dystopia, and a great examination of class distinctions, drug use, sex, and other things used to control the people. If you haven't read Brave New World, you need to.

Sometimes disturbing, this novel is an excellenet portrayal of what can happen in the search for Utopia. A wonderful book for upper high school and beyond.

The futuristic classic. It's as compelling today as it was 70 years ago.

Definatly a disturbing story that will stay with the reader. In a time in the future their may be sex and drugs,etc. but very little in the way of human intimancy. Into this picture comes the savage. A person born;not grown ,in a pueblo community-like. He comes to this place and the culture shock is enourmous.

Michelle K. (Very original, and intereting take on a future society. My only complaint is that I wish there would have been more storyline with the character Bernard. I really liked his character and thought the book would be mainly aobut him. Good book though.
