First of all you didn't actually need to read it. All you needed is to read pic related to be able to talk about it to others. Read it now.
It will suffice to impress those who haven't actually read the book but if you want to impress those who've already read the book you need more. It doesn't help that the book is mostly filler with few original ideas. However, you can't get away by simply acknowledging this fact. You need to pretend you got something out of it. Might I suggest the take that the world described there is actually a utopia?
"Think about it. There is very little suffering and a lot of pleasure. The idealist copes that people used to have for their material struggles have been eliminated - there is no longer any need for them. Everyone experiences pleasure and everyone is put to work according their capabilities ensuring maximum fulfillment and happiness. ". You could talk about the concept of freedom and how demands for freedom and the apparent need for freedom is always contingent on something else: usually material goods and conditions. When those are addressed, you realize that people actually neither want nor need freedom. Can quote the grand inquisitor from brothers Karamazov.

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
InJove'sfair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympianhost conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a -
