What would a pure 'setting description' be? A sourcebook? What?
(Personally I think pure setting descriptions would often be better that the rather crappy and uninteresting stories tacked on to the setting.)

No just not this story...its such a good book util he actually visits te savages and then it got so boring....I normally read one-hundred pages a day in reading and for about three days I only read ten pages becuase it was just......so.....bad..it just felt tacky and tacked on likehe had to make some kind of righteous point. I just did not ever really care about Bernard, or Lenina or anybody for that matter especially John the Savage. They were just such boring charectors, the only guy in the book I really liked was the guy that Bernard confides in, Holmshwitz....or however you say it. Admitidly the writing did get better but it was just so horribly boring and badly written for a good fat chunk fo the book I almost decided to just move on to "The Invisible Man" or "the spirit of the laws".
I personally liked 1984 much better, I lied Julia a lot more than any of the qomen in BNW, and the ending in 1984 was so good, it was realistic, it was what you hope doesnt happen but as soon as it does you feel dumb for thinking it could have ever been any other way. BNW was......meh.....Its still a really great book, and of course Im talking on the relative scale of great bookedness dont get me wrong for the most part I loved it. But it just lacked that ultra mega-sonic Umph that Farenheight and 1984 had. I guess Im just a 1984 guy.
BTW, as an aside, I think Farenheight was by far the most realistic of the three.

Yup, I already have a copy of Fahrenheit reserved in my regular book shop, should be purchasing it within weeks. After all, BNW, 1984 and Fahrenheit are the three pillars of dystopia, and any person who likes reading should check the three of'em.
I don't hope it will be better than 1984, but who knows? Maybe it will prove me wrong.

Ive said this in other threads but up until 1999 they were the three forms of Dystopia. My friend in College said that his English teacher had a whole seperate section to teach them abot Dystopias and that they were it, all other dystopias were just more or less extremem versions of the three books. And then "The Matrix" came out and inroduced us to a new type f dystopia....
