A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
challenging
dark
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
I am not young, not no longer, oh no. Alex like groweth up, oh yes.
I have to agree with Burgess on this one. The last chapter of this book is not a discardable limb but rather, it's integral to Alex's journey and a great way of wrapping up his story.
Alex and his fellow droogs are probably the least likable and most despicable characters I have come across in a long long time.
This is a small book that will spark a lot of big thoughts. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to everyone given how triggering it could get at times, but if you do decide to pick it up, just know, this story will stain a little bit of your soul. You are guaranteed to think about it a lot more than you bargained for.
You have been warned! :)
