Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Trying to get through a tough novel. Ever since reading the Hunger Games trilogy, I´ve been on a dystopian crave. Although the idea and basic premise of BNW is extremely interesting in terms of predetermined success and failure, I can´t help while reading but think how outdated it feels. BNW was only published a decade before 1984, even still the writing, though most definitely as prophetic as 1984, doesn´t feel as connected to the real world I live in today.

Hopefully Brave New World will hook me in the next chapter or two, because this is a book I don´t want to abandon, and will most likely read till the bitter end!
