Overall not a bad book, definitely disturbing at times (I don't know what librarian let me check this out as a child because holy cow)

The slang can also be a little off putting and make it a more difficult read

oddly enough my fav part is when Alex is more or less being tortured I think it alone could speak volumes on psych and how society deems certain things as needing of fixing

Secondly when more or less the entire events are shown to be more or less exactly as the government wanted it rather than how those who wanted to "help" Alex wanted
