I thought it was great, although I do prefer Animal Farm. Perhaps 1984 is more important though, as it is warning about the future rather than critiquing the past.
It is interesting to compare the different views 1984 and Brave New World take on sex, with there being extremely strict rules in 1984 and extreme permissiveness in Brave New World - I wonder why both authors felt the need to make the authorities take an extreme line on it, and why it was a major part of what each wrote about?
Farenheit 451 is very interesting too - with one of the best oppening lines in fiction; "It was a pleasure to burn".
