This was the first the first book that was purchased on my Kindle :3 I originally wanted to read this one just so I could compare it to the book 1984 (which I have read many years ago. I can't even remember when). They both have similarities when it comes to the future. Brave New World is more so a kind of "utopia" while 1984 seemed more of a dark future. Pain vs Pleasure is the biggest difference, but they are on the same lines.
It's disturbing in a way and even though everyone is more or less "happy" in the book, it's not real happiness. I think they are more feeling content than anything. I feel more sorry for Bernard, who is apart of this "utopia" and can feel that something that is not right than John "Savage" who is outside of this community and kind of tries to join? I think that is what he was trying to do. John already knew what real happiness was and even though his life was not the best in the world he still had that freedom that no one else did.
I could not live how they did. First of all, awful. Growing people and making some of them smarter than others just to do certain jobs, but brainwashing them into thinking that they are glad that they are apart of this particular part of the community. No one second guesses, they just do what they are told and think what they are told to think. Of course, they don't know any better which is extremely sad. 4 stars though
