O brave new world, O brave new world...

I've just finished reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley... and it's quite strange.

The main character is nebulous - I get the impression that the true main character changes at different points in the novel.

I'd be very interested to find if this was the first novel which used voice as Huxley did... in chapter 3 and again in a later chapter which I am at a loss to find right now, he decends into a maelstrom of character:

"'Well, all I can say is that I'm going to accept his invitation.'

Bernard hated them, hated them. But they were two, they were large, they were strong.

'The Nine Years' War began in A.F 141.'

'Not even if it were true about the alcohol in his blood-surrogate.'"

And so on and so forth, a strange and confusing medley of conversation rampaging around the page. I admit it was hard to follow, at times, but overall a very exciting read. It's actually a short novel, 230 pages or there abouts.

I'd say that the most interesting character is that of John, the Savage.

I don't want to spoil youir enjoyment of it though, read it for yourself. Make your own mind up.
