A review by strawberrygrapejelly
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.
Maybe I should've read this earlier when I was less bogged down by life and less easily turned off.
I understand that this is part of the point, but I just couldn't bring myself to want to know anything more about the MC or his eventual "rehabilitation." I'm not a squeamish person, but I found the depiction of SA... gratuitous. I could not bring myself to give a shit after that. It was a classic that I wanted to get out of the way, but I'll prob read excerpts.
And yeah yeah I'm missing the point whatever idc bro maybe I am missing out on genius but I've read enough classic dystopian novels to get the gist
