You will feel both accomplished and disturbed upon reading this novel. It’s dystopian, nightmarish fiction with wit, gore and societal commentary. I never watched the movie and don’t believe I ever will. Also, you will basically learn a new language while reading this. Gen Z’s got nothing on Anthony Burgess.

The strangest english vocabulary I've ever seen...
Great story, thrill and dystopic elements just like I like it. And waaaay better than the movie like always.

So disgustingly disturbing. Wanted to throw up every 3 pages.
