is goodness in choice or in conditioning?
i thought this book was very thought provoking and interesting. we have alex, an antihero who loves to rape, murder and pillage. but you feel like you have to listen to him because of his smooth, drawn out syntax and charming language. you don't like him, but you want to hear his story. i think it's hard to write a character like that. also, the nadsat slang was difficult but i think it provided a very unique kind of worlbuilding- the story is based around how isolated and shunned the youth are from this future society (which is obviously in our universe because of mentions of WW2 and the Communists) so of course they're going to have their own, barely comprehensible language. overall, i think it was a peetty good book with some shocking r*pe scenes that make me lower my rating. ill make sure to add trigger tags.
