[stylist] update: about brave new world

[Robert Leslie Newman]

It is as I recall all about philosophy of class systems - people being
genetically engineered to be worker drones (their bodies, their minds and
desires). You wonder if that type of society would engineer to eliminate the
genetically blind - or maybe - like some cultures from our past who when
finding a slave kid that could do music, the owner would blind that kid so
he would concentrate more on sound and not be distracted with vision and end
up a better musician.

Hi,
Remember a couple of weeks ago I was deciding between books to read for
school?
I'm reading Brave New World now but wish I'd chosen something else!
Recently we read 1984, and I feel that 1984 is better written.  
So far I'm in like chapter 2 of Brave New World, and a main character hasn't
even been introduced! I talked to someone else who read it, who said it
didn't get good until the end.
So my question is, why is this book a classic?
