The writing is for some, it's not for me. The made-up language and mixture of Russian? dialect is annoying.

Gebruik van slang was heel creatief, thema van misdaad bestrijden was interessant, maar verder niet echt iets dat me nog heel lang bij zal blijven.

Looking back at it - it did leave a lasting impact. What it was exactly I don’t know but it was a good (great?) book.

What a horrorshow vetsch. Lots ittying on with krovvy scenes and gullivers spinning physically and metaphorically, I defo smecked a malenky whilst viddying the pages. A tolchock in the yarbles when it got intense but I do recommend it to all the lewdies!! (this is what the whole book is like hehehe)
Now returning from the Nadsat language to English, wowowoeeee what a book, well-written, thought provoking, funny at moments and with a fantastic plot. The story poses lots of moral dilemmas and philosophical questions.
It’s terrifically dark, the phrase “ultra-violence”, as used many times in reference to gang activities, is very accurate.
Easy to read classic (except the whole new language lol). Would massively recommend.

I slept on this one for a while, but the audiobook production (with Tom Hollander as the narrator) was top notch! Scary but the final chapter really brings it all together.
