I hope,There is no such world

[Agostina Aldunate · Rating 2 out of 5]

Una copia muy barata de un mundo feliz, de Aldous Huxley. Logra atraparte ligeramente como para que lo termines (además de que es demasiado corto como para dejarlo a la mitad), pero sinceramente no me pareció gran cosa.
Cuando son historias cortas como esta difícilmente llegan a ser buenas, recomiendo solo si están aburridos y necesitan algo para esperar en la sala del médico.

A dreadful copy of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. It manages to hook you just enough to finish it (also, it’s way too short to abandon halfway through), but honestly, I didn’t think it was anything special.
When it comes to short stories like this, they rarely turn out to be good. I’d only recommend it if you’re bored and need something to pass the time in a doctor’s waiting room.
