A review by meheher
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

4.0

 At the beginning of the book I didn’t like the writing but as I kept reading I started to like it more and more. I feel it adds character and helps further separate Alex with the adults or just non gang members in the book.

I like how Alex and members of his gang talk in “Nadsat” but in the end when Alex meets Pete years later he no longer talks in that way. I felt it showed his growth as a person by leaving behind his ultra-violence life behind him. Despite all the violence he commited I still felt  bad for Alex, in certain parts of the book, and that made it really interesting. The question whether Alex had really been "cured" since he was physically unable to commit immoral but still wanted to stayed with me. Has a person really changed if they no longer commit violence, but deep inside still want to?
