Island
Aldous Huxley is a master storyteller, undoubtedly, but I found Island to be just a little far fetched for my liking. It reminded me of the cancerous denizens of this World that seem to think they have a better way of doing things. I found myself sinking into the sory, getting disappointed and angry at some of the Islanders green ideals. Definitely it was ahead of its time, but I find its relevance ever questionable.
