As someone who is just now getting back into reading (bought a nook) is this book going to be enjoyable for me to read? I've recently read The Mazerunner, The Road, and Gone Girl. Will I be able to comprehend A Brave New World?

>> No.5594722

Who are you?

Seriously, who the fuck are you? I know nothing about about you other than the fact you read some books recently (and I dont even know if you liked those), so how will I know if you'll like some Dystopian novel or not?

You might as well ask "I'm going to try shrimp pizza for the first time, will I like it?"

How the fuck should I know.

Well I really like dystopian books. Which is why this book peaked my interests.

I'm really asking what age group this book is aimed at, like reading level.

If you like dystopian books and you fear Brave New World is too hard, you could give Gravity's Rainbow a try. It takes place during world war two, so the setting is more relatable and there is a more humor so you can tie yourself to the story.

It's really good and accessible to everyone.
