as you all know everyone has ranted and raved about brave new world. I finally took a shot and bought the book, so far i've gotten about 50 pages in and I feel as if I can recollect nothing. the authors writing style loses me and I often feel it goes off on tangents trying to explain simple things with excessive detail which confuses me.
many people sold the book to me as a dystopian novel about how people are born and bred in a society to serve their rulers and only perform certain duties as they've been bred to do so etc. when I read the text I dont feel as if im getting much of a storyline on that.

Wasn’t that the book that hippies in the 60’s or 70’s rave about? My hippie parents had it in their library but don’t know if they read it. I’ll have to ask my mom.
Eta: might not be the same book
Come back to read later if you feel like.
Or discuss with a friend or here to see what others make of it.
Yeah the ideas are interesting but it’s boring AF to read
There was a movie made of this back in the 20’s or 30’s, it’s silent. Tried to watch it, but it wasn’t that interesting.
Same. Gave up around the same spot you did.
