A review by goongus
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Totally recommend reading it without using the footnotes and references. Found the end a little anticlimactic, but nevertheless a horrorshow of a book. And of course in classic 20th century book style, an endless list of TWs.
