Island by Aldous Huxley

I read this in March 2016.  I picked it up at a bus station book shelf/swap shelf.  I thought it would be good to read after just rereading Brave New World.
A Journalist (Will Farnaby) working on the Far East is ship wrecked on the Island of Pala, where it's people live in peace and harmony.  There is a potential takeover of the Island's Oil reserves and various factions are vying for the rights. conveniently the natives all speak English and there is advanced medicine.

I found this a bit more 'of it's time' than BNW.  Too wordy and a bit laborious to read.

6/10
