5.0 out of 5 stars Visions of Distopia, 26 July 2006
By SL "stef_cd" (Bournemouth, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ape and Essence (Paperback)
A very under-rated work that should be up there with 'Brave New World'. It envisions a post-nuclear war wasteland - influenced by his life in California at the time. It's a wild ride and unique in Huxley's writing.

3.0 out of 5 stars An alternate Animal Farm, 19 Aug 2008
By Pablo K (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ape and Essence (Paperback)
An interesting enough allegory for the insanities of militarism and hierarchy in the twentieth century, if a bit heavy-handed. Sex figures heavily, which probably made it more punchy when it was published than it reads now. And, as usual, Huxley delivers passages of brilliance. But not quite enough to raise it above the level of an alternate Animal Farm.
