"A Clockwork Orange" is a novel by Anthony Burgess, and it is one of the most famous works of dystopian fiction. It has been made particularly famous by Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation, and both the film and the book are routinely ranked in various surveys amongst the most significant works in their corresponding genres.     One of the main idiosyncrasies of the book is the use of an invented teenage slang (or more specifically "argot") called Nadsat. Burgess was a polyglot, …

Has everything I want in a book. A contained universe that is fully realized, brilliant writing, social satire, and a confusingly sympathetic main character. Check out the Kubrick flick if you haven't yet.

Prepare yourself for a brainwash. The worst punishment of your phisical sins is inside your mind, inside your soul.

Watch the movie and then read this book and see how they compare.

One of the most twisted books I have ever read. I love the characters and the psychology behind it. I love the twist at the end most of all.

Very difficult read, but keep slogging through. The slang Russian/Cockney gets easier to understand as you go. Disturbing, at the least!

According to Burgess, this was not one of his favorite books that he wrote. Ah well, I still like it.

Crazy and messed up, but a classic.

Great books seldom make for great films, but when they do, it's usually the movie people remember better. Films reach more people, requiring less investment of their time. Plus, when they are made as well and as excitingly as was Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of this Anthony Burgess novel, it's hard not to think of the movie first.    Both feature a young man named Alex who, in what was a vaguely futuristic society for the time, rides around with his friends committing various …
