A Clockwork Orange

"It's weird how a author can create a character so unlikeable but somehow find a way to make us still interested to see what happens next to them. Anyway, Give it a viddy, ok brother? 😂 "

"One of the most upsetting, yet fascinating books I've ever read. A stellar example of the villain as hero genre, as in Lolita you find yourself rooting for the charming sociopath, as disgusted with yourself as you are with him."

"Wild wild book, this book describes what life looks like for certain humans, the struggle of life which for most people only emerges rarely, but for certain people that struggle is a threat daily "

"Burgess’ Joycean argot is breathtaking in scope and spot on creating a new vernacular, and the passages describing classical music are amazing! "

"The violence didn’t deter me, but the language was hard for me to follow. I spent so much time googling to try to understand the English terms. Made it less enjoyable to read. "

"What can I say...this was one of the strangest books I have ever read. I was a little nervous to read it considering I had heard about the movie when I was in college and all that was entailed in it...but I was curious and wanted to know more. Boy...I'm glad they have an introduction to this book to help explain what in the heck is going on here. The language is something else..."nasdat".....the talk of teenagers at that time. It does help to soften the reading of the gross violence that Alex bestows upon his many victims by sounding it out in "nasdat talk"...but it is still so strange and foreign. I could not entirely enjoy this book...I suppose it kept my interest...I did not find it boring...but I did not find myself wanting to race through my daily routine to get back to it. But hey...now I can finally say I actually read it!<br/><br/>"

"This is a true classic! The use of language in this book is extremely intricate and complex, yet it brings its own hint to the book, giving it a really unusual and twisted writing style. Yet, it is pretty dystopian, and the point of view in this book happens through the point of a “villain” of the story, so hopefully you will enjoy reading it!"

"🆘"

"My glazzies viddy this book from the Public Libio as pretty good!<br/>4/10, grim futuristic and weird. Really a quick weekend read to keep you entertained! Would recommend to lovers of Hunger Games, 1984, A Wrinkle in Time, or other dystopian novels."

"Hard to read in more ways than one. Dark material. The only book I've come across that made me dislike the protagonist while feeling sorry for him, and seeing a bit of my younger self in him. That alone makes it a worthy read."
