                                                           Brave New World
                                                                    by Aldous Huxley

Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his
distress...

Huxley's ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.

On Screen: The 5th Wave

I haven't read the book and thank God for that....lol. Okay the movie wasn't terrible, in fact, it was entertaining...but the plot had some big holes with typical American YA cheesiness so I guess reading the book would've been a waste of time. I'll be waiting for the next movie though.

Review: The Dream Snatcher

It was an okayish read...some parts felt really cozy and some parts were pretty graphic (for a children's book). There's second book come out but I won't be reading it because I know what's going to happen next. (lol)  My rating for this book: 2.5 out of 5.

Review: In Darkling Wood

I loved "The Girl Who Walked on Air" so much so that I decided to read this latest book by the same author as well, but it wasn't as good as the previous book. My rating would be 2 out of 5.

Weekend Reads

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
 

On Screen: The Revenant

This movie was really good and very tense throughout. It's based on a novel of the same name.
