As much as the over-sexualization and lack of empathy towards characters seem to be a constant complaint on readers I did not mind these. The allegoric way in which Huxley seems to perceive the perfect society is masterfully depicted. It’s insane to think it’s been almost a century since the book was written. The description of the mundane activities that took part (and are almost robotically done so) in said society is very rich and purposeful. Really enjoyed the read and thought it was interesting in many levels. The highlights for me were the second to last and last chapters.

Honestly, I was expecting it to be worse than it was. I am very fond of Bobby's music, so the soundtrack was what drew me to this book. The story had a nice pace, a straightforward plot, and clear wording. When I finished, I wished there had been some references to the soundtrack itself, but I was still quite happy with the read, even if I wasn't wowed by it.
