Brave New World-20

"During the first days, the Savage lived alone and undisturbed." (pg. 246)

This chapter was just weird. I honestly could have done without it, although I'm sure it's very important. I wasn't really all that surprised when John killed himself. He never would have been able to handle living like this, so this was kind of his only out-not that I'm promoting suicide. I just couldn't see him being okay with people gawking at him all the time.

I enjoyed reading Brave New World much more than Never Let Me Go because I felt it was much more engaging. And I liked in the end that there were islands and people like Helmholtz weren't just killed off. I do have to say that the ending of BNW did not have the shock factor of NLMG.
