Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick, Anthony Burgess

5.0

When I started reading this book, I had no idea that I was in for a really wonderful mental exercise. I loved puzzling out the nadsat words, and it was interesting to see how quickly they started making perfect sense to me. The story is wonderful, and even though Alex is a terribly violent person, I was still able to sympathize with him. The version I read had the optional final chapter, but I think it's a stronger book without it. Either way, A Clockwork Orange is a really excellent book that I know will be memorable for years to come.
