This wasn't the kind of book that I'd normally read. But it's a classic, and I figured I'd give it a shot.

It's an interesting take on a dystopian setting, because it's a more realistic one. There's no world ending apocalypse, or wars over water, or what have you. It's more of a story on government corruption through the eyes of a british street punk. There's also some pretty good social commentary on the police as well.

It's definitely not for everyone, but if you can get past the sexual assault and the ridiculous slang, it's not a bad story.
