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.

First 2/3 of book are … slow. Last part & particularly the last couple of chapters were what really solidified it for me.
