It’s still way too early for a UK pick up on ‘ Brave New World‘, but we’ll let you know when we hear more.I need to parse my rating of this book into the good (or great), the bad and the very fugly because I thought aspects of it were inspired genius and parts of it were dreggy, boring and living near the border of awful.
