Negative Positive
Title: Overrated, underwritten
Review: I do not understand at all what everyone is raving about. Mediocre writing, snail-like pacing, and shallow stereotypes (the semi-rebellious anti-hero, the hard-core Messiah/revolutionary figure, the orthodox romantic interest, the benevolent omnipotent despot are Bernard, Savage, Lenina and Mond, respectively) aside, the idea of this book is absurd. Sure, the denizens of Huxley's Ford-ruled world (and the replacement of "God" with "Ford"; I found that amusing for, oh, about three seconds) seem perfectly happy to me, and the book is written in such a cock-eyes and unbelievable manner that this "Brave New World" doesn't seems at all depressing; it just seems like another way to live life. This is a crushingly pointless book.
