This Aldous Huxley signature is fake, right?

Got a "signed" first printing of Brave New World with the dust jacket. I assumed the signature was fake upon buying it. Paid less than a third of the value of an unsigned copy, so I'm not at a loss if it's a forgery.

It's on a card that's pasted into the front flyleaf 

Thoughts?

I’m afraid that is not real.

Thanks, that's no surprise. I would have paid as much for just the jacket without the book, so this isn't a tough pill to swallow.

For my own edification, is there a particular dead giveaway on this one?

The way that the letters of Aldous have been written, especially at the end and Huxley elements just don’t flow correctly.
