I don't find the writing style particularly good

Christopher Hitchens pretty much states my feelings in the foreword: the naming of the characters is not only corny, but doesn't make sense and the writing is VERY condescending. Every line of dialogue is explained to you, like when Lenina talks about how she doesn't like the khakis of the Epsilons (I believe that's the group that wears them) and then the next line in the book says something like "due to her conditioning." I mean, it just seems very amateur... anyone agree or disagree?
