Summary of this Book... | ||
Alex, the main character and narrator of this 1962 classic, tells of his adolescent life as a brutal gang leader in a futuristic society. Some of the slang he uses might not make sense at first, but as the story progresses and his life as a gang member ultimately sends him to prison, the words eventually do make sense. As he sits in prison, he is presented with a new and somewhat secretive experiment which will make him a law abiding citizen and allow his sentence to be drastically reduced. He readily agrees to it, but there’s a moral and perhaps unethical price he’ll have to pay. | ||

I especially liked... | ||
Burgess's unique style of writing. I've never seen something like this before. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
I wasn't too happy with the made-up slang his characters use at first. It takes a little getting used to, but it does eventually work for this story, and I can understand why he used it. | ||
When I finished n/a this Book I wanted to... | ||
Go out find another of his books, just to see how else he writes. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
A little nostalgic. A Clockwork Orange is certainly a classic, at least for the time when it came out, but I wonder how it would do in the present day. | ||

I recommend this Book because... | ||

Further Comments... | ||
This is the first time I've read Anthony Burgess, and it was a fun little ride to read this classic tale. For 212 pages, it was well worth my time. | ||
