For it being a classic, I didn't really enjoy this novel. It seemed to me a little cliche the way people lived their lives. Huxley seemed to construct their lives in the exact opposite way of ours. However, I did enjoy the part when Bernard and Lenina go to New Mexico and meet John. John, being in love with and frequently quoting Shakespeare, made the plot a lot more interesting and enjoyable to read. Even though, at the end, they were almost over-quoting Shakespeare, it was still a nice marriage of the old and the new.
