I liked the ending but the beginning was a little slow. It was worth the read though.

The nasdat language made it a very annoying read but I loved the book it was interesting how my perspective of the main character switches throughout the book and I the last chapter originally removed from the first american edition of Clockwork orange makes a big difference of how you see the book as a whole

Maybe im dumb but what the fuck was this book.

I legitimately didnt understand every second word and finished the book not understanding why this book is such a big deal. Giving it 3 stars is being generous on my end, since im giving it the benefit of the doubt since again, im probably just dumb (yes post modern literature blah blah commentary on society blah blah sue me i like to enjoy the books i read)
