This is one of those books that I should have read a long time ago, primarily because I was assigned it in an English class I took in college, and though I should have read it at that time I didn't. Yet the more I think about it it was probably for the best. Had I read it then I wouldn't have apprec...
I fail to see why there is so much love for this book... It's a coming of age story, it has 'fancy' slang and controversial topics. Great! But I didn't feel as though there was much meaning behind it. Alex didn't learn his lesson, he simply 'grew up'... WHAT?I don't feel there was any sort of guilt...

I can't believe it took me so long to get around to reading this book. Absolutely amazing! I loved it. From the start, it is a little difficult to understand because Alex speaks in Nadsat, a language Burgess created drawing heavily from Russian influence as well as shortened English slang.

Author Anthony Burgess takes advantage of his linguistic gifts in an unusual way with this book: he writes it in the style of Christopher Marlowe, the titular dead man.Once I got what Burgess was about, I enjoye...
Neologisms in science fiction are double-edged swords, they can make the book more fantastical and be an important per of the world building, on the other hand if not handled right they can make the narrative impenetrable and downright irritating. I think a lot of people who do not finish A Clockwor...
I picked this up on a whim; Waterstones marketing done right. I’ve not seen the film, and I didn’t know much about it before reading. I was a little unsure, as I’m not great with violence (I had to take a break from The Song of Fire and Ice when there was just too much of it), so I was surprised at ...
I read this book with such high expectations I found it a bit disappointing. It was a good book, but lacking. After knowing that it was written in three weeks, now I get why.So, the things I didn't like:1- I get the Christianity morals played a part in asking the question about free will, but it was...
after watching many years ago the 1971 movie by S.Kubrick, I decided to read the book. well, there is a difference. Also, the book was censored in the American edition, though very slightly.
