A review by mrbonanza
Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick, Anthony Burgess
5.0
4.5/5 stars
Really loved this, I think it's one of my top 3 favourite books this year. Loved the use of the Nadsat language and thought it really made the society of the book seem more real than other books you might read . I also found it more entertaining to read. Anyways, really liked, maybe a better term is appreciated the character of Alex. I thought he was probably the best written anti-hero I've ever read. This book was really interesting and fast paced so I was never bored while reading it. The reason I docked a half star off of a 5 star rating was because I didn't really think that last chapter had to be added. It would have been fine without it, more ambiguous. Adding the 21st chapter gave it kind of a cheap ending in my opinion, one doesn't really 'grow out' of sadistic sociopathic tendencies like Alex did. But that's just my opinion.
