A Clockwork Orange is a very interesting book. It is a violent and hyperbolic view of people and the government. While it is very, very dark and the main character is a horrible person, it is a story that makes you think. It was a fast read for me despite the slang that holds up a lot of readers. Every scene and action meant something to the story and it was quick and to the point.

Although there are a lot of very graphic descriptions, they are mostly in the slang of the book.

Reading it for the first half felt like a cringe and a forced attempt at uniqueness; it makes you wonder if it really will be worth the read; is justice served, or is this just a talk for nonstop violence? Pros: with its newly invented language, the world-building and gory, cruel scenes were difficult to imagine. Cons: If you're the type of reader with vivid imaginations, everything is left up to your level of understanding, be it vague or specific. "What's it going to be then, eh?" and "horrorshow" had to be those lines that left quite a huge impression. In that essence telling of the journey of the humble narrator, there was the back-to-back push and pull of whether we are to root for this complex character, but it showed the kind of idleness the youth have, the responsibilities and certain consequences of one's own actions, and it made you ponder where justice truly lies and who can ever be a determinant to say this one is within the realms of being ethical or moral? I admit I wasn't very fond of it when I first started reading, but it was an eye opener regarding plenty of things; it does not only speak of one theme as it consists of many areas that could be covered specifically about living.
