A review by breezie_reads
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
5.0
I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to, considering the headache I had while trying to understand the language of teenagers in this world. Eventually it grew on me and I found myself understanding everything that was being said with no problem.
This book is disturbing, violent, and grotesque. I didn't know anything about this book before going in to it, so I was taken aback, to say the least. There's deeper meanings in everything and it definitely deserves to be discussed, especially in a classroom setting. If high schoolers are forced to read Beowulf and The Odyssey and Shakespeare, I think this should qualify as required too. Maybe a long, deep discussion of it would make a difference.
