I hated this book. So violent, multiple rape scenes and super annoying made up words. Truly awful main character. Definitely my least favorite book of the year.

A twisted dystopian novel that is anything but boring. This novel is set in a near future society that features extreme and almost comical violence. Alex narrorates his experiences in this English society where the authorities wish to change his violent ways. This book is one of my all time favorites.

So glad I got the physical book with the glossary bc not going to lie it’s a hard read at first until you get a full grasp on the slang they use throughout the entire book. A very disturbing book in deed but very good and touches on a lot of important topics when it comes to the government, prison reformation, morality, free will and so much more
