Book was a good read. Had a lot of writing in it from someone who had it before, but I expected it with a used book, and it actually had good notes written inside to explain a few things I otherwise would have had to look up myself. So I was pleasantly surprised.

The world that incubated the thought of Aldous Huxely during his writing of Brave New World was not so very different from our own. The fact that at the time there was much uncertainty of the coming dangers of technology and society the future would face, fostered Huxley's inspiring assessment. The western world sat on the brink of chaos that the aggressors of WWII would soon bring. We live in a time of similar uncertainty and as the world returns to entropy, Brave New World is no less poignant in the lessons it seeks to explain. Brave New World is an excellent book, particularly considering its age. The storyline delves into the bizarre and outright absurd, but when you consider how absurd our world would seem to societies over 100 years ago, perhaps its not that far off. There is no doubt Huxley hit the nail on the head with some of his analysis and who can say what the distant future still holds in store for us. Modern authors, like Benjamin Barber, use examples from works like Brave New World to demonstrate the downfall of modern society. Uniquely brilliant and an overall great story that inspires thought, and there's no harm in that. REVIEW EVERY BOOK YOU READ, AUTHORS DESERVE YOUR OPINIONS.Read full review

The time of shipping was better than expected, the book was more than quality save a few minor blemishes, and I very much enjoy the shape of it. I appreciate the speed and reliability of the descriptions, and would recommend it at any instance.
