"Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, thefeet turned toward the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-west; then paused, and, after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south-west, south, south-east,east..." pg 259
Really now? Thank you for the lesson in directions. There's just a protagonist dead, but let's end the book with directions. People will close the book not knowing how to overcome anything, but we can sure read a compass! Another thing, why didn't Huxley ever say the word dead? I mean if you can kill a character off you should atleast announce it to your reader. I mean, I am making the unfair assumption that other people finished the book. A happy ending would've been nice. The book just got more and more cynical as I read so I suppose that it's only fitting to end like this. Well, now I can say I've read a Sci-Fi book. I really didn't like it. Atleast this means it's over.
