Expectations for Huxley

Image from http://jyotimi.blogspot.com 

After reviewing my options of books to blog about I chose Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. I chose this book with the expectations that it would be entertaining and unusual to read. 

The book is about a futuristic world where everything is made to be "perfect," but this idea seems to mean everything is controlled. It is consumer driven and there seems to be little emotion involved with the people in this society. I have no clue how this plot could develop because the book's main idea is so peculiar. If I would guess, which I will, I would say someone in this world will not be engineer to be like everyone else and they make everything a mess!

Aldous Huxley's idea of a manufacture world is an awesome idea and I have high expectations for this book. I must be entertain, and it must be thought provoking! It's definitely not like anything I normally read so I hope to find this book worthwhile!

  2. I don't know about anybody else, but that description reminds me a little bit about Farenheit 451 and the Giver. Can;t wait to hear more about it! :)
