bLoG ThReE (overall view on book)

When I first began to read this book, it seemed very boring and I found it hard to keep on going with it. The story starts out at the "Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre" in the fertilizing room. So it really isn't very exciting to me. The boog doesn't begin to make me want to read on more until Chapter 6 when they talk about going to visit the "savages". Then, when they bring a savage back to London, the story REALLY captures my attention because that's when the problems sart that eventually lead to the chaos. The story ends with the death (suicide) of the savage, but the book still goes on. The author, Aldous Huxley, goes on to explain real life things and and more stuff about the book. The only part that interested me was the part when he talked about the "soma" which was the drug that helped the society to function. Overall, I liked the book, but I wouldn't suggest it to the simple-minded.
