Help! What's this book...


Recommended Posts

I've been perusing the shelves in the Waterstones 'young adult' section and i kept coming across a book which i kept putting back. I am now desperate to find it - but it is as if i imagined the whole thing!

 

I don't know the name or author but i remember the blurb on the back reading something along the lines of when you're born, or the day you're born, determines your place in society, or role in life. It definitely had the kind of dystopian sci-fi feel about it. 

 

The longer this goes on the crazier i feel... it's funny how i kept putting it back and not buying it and now that i can't find it it is driving me mad!!!

 

Please help!!

 

Thank you!

Brave New World fits your description 100%. 

 

edit: I forgot to mention that it was written by Aldous Huxley. 

 

edit nr 2: I am not sure why the book was in the YA section, I don't read YA at all, but your description matches the book. I'd say you should definitely read it, it's awesome.
