By Aldous Huxley
Well where do I start. Beckyelsie wrote a review for this a while back and you can view it here.
I
agree with her review. This book was disturbing and wrong. People were
not conceived in the normal way, people are raised in hatcheries. Each
person is assigned a rank; Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta,and Epsilon. Alpha
is the highest and are able to live as you and I do. Beta are also able
to live as you and I do. But the rest are inferior. They have no rights
and are pretty much the servants. And the head of the hatcheries decides
were the "eggs" go, whether or not the will be Alpha or Beta and so on.
That right there sounds very wrong to me. Everyone was created equal, so hatching the "eggs" into different ranks is wrong.
Then
another thing that bugged me was the thought that "everyone belongs to
everyone". Now that means there is no marriage. There is no love. There
is no pregnancy. And women and men sleep with many different people.
There is no sanity. These people are on a drug called soma, the use it whenever the feel grim. It is disheartening.
I
would not suggest this book to anyone. I did not enjoy it. I did
dislike it though. You don't need to know anything about the plot(which
is a little confusing) just know its disturbing, and you should avoided
this book.
