Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Since Dracula was such a long book I chose the shortest of the three books I have at home, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. This will be the first Science Fiction book that I've ever read so I'm quite on the fence. It has never been a genre that I have been drawn to but I'm hoping this book will surprise me. Especially since there seems to be many Sci-Fis on the list. Here is the summary:

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a classic science fiction work that continues to be a significant warning to our society today. Tony Britton, the reader, does an excellent job of portraying clinical detachment as the true nature of the human incubators is revealed. The tone lightens during the vacation to the wilderness and the contrast is even more striking. Each character is given a separate personality by Britton's voices. As the story moves from clinical detachment to the human interest of Bernard, the nonconformist, and John, the "Savage," listeners are drawn more deeply into the plot. Finally, the reasoned tones of the Controller explain away all of John's arguments against the civilization, leading to John's death as he cannot reconcile his beliefs to theirs.
