It takes some time to adjust to the slang, but after you get used to paging through the dictionary at the back it starts to flow better. This is a classic that is worthy of a read. This book was written for shock value, but I think it loses some of it in our current violence hungry world. The slang also makes it less violent, but I think this was done on purpose.
A great thought provoking book. You can really grasp the author's fears and themes. The book can take on a completly different meaning if reading the old American version that was left out the end or the movie which did the same. It's such a shame that the older American versions and the movie left out the full transformation the author intended the character to go through. Make sure to read the full version.

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