Title: Decent writing but confusing thesis
Review: This had the potential to be a good book and Huxley certainly wasn't a bad writer for his day, but his main purpose in this book seems to be to get a message out, and I'm not sure I can buy that message. Basically the thesis is that it's good to be unhappy. The main characters are sick that this world has no unhappiness and they want the right to be unhappy. I cannot understand this since I would rather be happy than not. If this was just a satire about an immoral modern society, then I could understand. His predictions certainly are not too far off the map. If you are curious, try this book, but personally I did not find it enlightening.
Is the review positive or negative?
