    Has anybody read this piece of dystopian future fiction? What did you think of it?

    Some people think it's weak compared to 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, I haven't read 1984 yet but I read BNW and Fahrenheit 451 and I thought BNW was pretty good.

    I read it in HS and don't remember that much about it.

    I honestly don't remember much either but I remember reading it and thinking 'whoa we already do a lot of this stuff, people already think like this', freaky stuff.

    One of the biggest things that unsettled me was how they brought children in to where the people were dying and the children, little itty bitty kids, are already so desensitized like 'is she dead? oh', then they move on and get chocolate death eclairs.
