'TIme must have a stop' is a strange combo between auto-biography and satire. It is not an exciting book like many of his others, often times I found myself losing attention. but not every novel an author writes can be great, although Aldous comes close. This one is only for hardccccore Huxley addicts, and those with a more analytical approach. ( )Halfway through this satire I realized it was futile to view it as anything but entertainment. Huxley's wallowing in trifle and snobbery bowled him over. It is unfortunate that this wasn't just one novel in a string of many depicting the same characters, because a series of novels would have made for an elevated soap opera. I would surely have gone through the whole series with gusto. One of Huxley's odder books, though really, that's not saying much: all are odd, and few have the stamp of NORMALCY about them. This starts off in standard Huxley dark comedy, and then turns to an afterlife story. Well worth reading. brak recenzji | dodaj recenzję
