Review

Posted : 2 years, 4 months ago at Jul 5 6:21
Set in a futuristic world of peace and happiness controlled through recreational drugs and natural conditioning this book purposefully blurs the line between dystopia and utopia and allows the reader to decide. Is the right to be unhappy worth fighting for?

In many ways more disturbing than other well formed dystopias such as 1984, and covering issues from cloning to racism - this is a classic.

Rating : 6/10
