Brave New World

Bibliography: Huxley, A. (1932). Brave New World. New York, NY: HarperCollins.
Brief Annotation: A dark version of a utopian future where humans are pharmaeutically anesthetized to serve a ruling order. It has been noted as a frequently banned book because of its sexually explicit scenes, offensive language, and insensitivity.
Genre: Science Fiction
Grade Level: 9-12
Readers who will like this: Students who are interested in reading about science fiction, and who are curious about developing their own opinion on this frequently banned book.
Response/Rating: I would give this book a 1 because I am not interested in the science fiction genre that much and I also saw the offensive language, and sexually explicit scenes which didn't appeal to me.
One question to ask before a read aloud: If you could anesthetize someone, what would you make them do?
