Please look at trigger warnings first!

I recommend to look up the nadsat-vocabulary early in the reading process, it becomes way easier afterwards. 

A very brutal, honest and deep story. Needs some getting used to, but I definitely recommend!

Unexpectedly deep story, and spot-on slang. Russian-speakers will be horror-show delighted!

from what i remember, you really watch Alex develop from being a violent being to a troubled one. The end of the book left me w/ questions and wondering what ever happened w/ Alex and his inner conversation he had w/ himself after seeing his old friends.
