A Clockwork Orange, worth the read? : r/books
Absolutely. The book is tremendous. Anthony Burgess invented a language for the book (he is a linguistics expert) and managed to weave it into the novel in a way that it enhances the experience and immerses you in the world while at the same time making it an alien environment. Once you master the Nadsat (which you already have an advantage ...

Review: A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Well you can't get more classic than A Clockwork Orange. I continuously watched the movie when I was a teenager; safe to say I had a sick curiosity about witnessing a character that was so purely evil such as Alex. After some research, I learnt that the meaning of the term 'a clockwork orange' is to describe something as solely one thing - for example, solely good or solely evil. This book ...
BOOK REVIEW: A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
My rating: 5 of 5 stars. Amazon page. While it's a title that probably has had many readers scratching their heads, "A Clockwork Orange" is the perfect title for Burgess's book. Our brains—while highly capable—are a stringy, wet mess of complexity, and to treat them like a clockwork machine is to invite trouble as well as to muddle ...

What do you guys think of the book A Clockwork Orange VS the film?
gunter_smith. • 4 yr. ago. When the book was published in America, the publishers cut out the last chapter. This is the version that Kubrick based the film on so I would say that the book and the film are equally matched since the film is so faithful to the American publishing of the book. 3.
I should infinitely prefer a book
Set in a terrifying dystopian future, A Clockwork Orange is a disturbing exploration of morality and free will. Rating: ★★★½. I enjoyed A Clockwork Orange much more than I thought I would after briefly scanning it and reading all of the strange language. I read this novel in preparation for seeing a performance of it, so I was determined ...
A Clockwork Orange: 10 Differences Between The Book And The Film
The Stanley Kubrick adaptation of Anthony Burgess' 1962 novel is often considered one of the most graphically violent, needlessly brutal and incredibly over-the-top films of all time.

Anne's review of A Clockwork Orange
3/5: Hmmm. As far as an enjoyable reading experience goes, I'd say this one is the bottom of the barrel. It's hard to be inside the head of someone who is, for no apparent reason, just an absolutely evil piece of shit. Now, that's not to say this isn't a worthwhile read. However, I'm trying really hard to figure out what the point of this book was and coming up with a blank. Like, was there a ...
Those of you who have read and watched A Clockwork Orange, how ...
The being said, the movie and book are both enjoyable. Burgess was a linguist and wrote the novel in a type of Russian street slang, making the prose very interesting. The movie has an entirely different ending, and people debate over which is better. I don't know if you should read the book first or not, but you should experience both.
A Clockwork Orange movie review (1972)
A Clockwork Orange. Stanley Kubrick 's "A Clockwork Orange" is an ideological mess, a paranoid right-wing fantasy masquerading As an Orwellian warning. It pretends to oppose the police state and forced mind control, but all it really does is celebrate the nastiness of its hero, Alex. I don't know quite how to explain my disgust at Alex (whom ...
Kingsley Amis' 1962 Review of A Clockwork Orange Book Marks
Fifteen-year-old Alex pursues a zealously delinquent career through the last decade of the present century, robbing, punching, kicking, slashing, raping, murdering, going to jail etc. He finds plenty of time to talk to the reader at the top of his voice in his era's hip patois, an amalgam of Russian (the political implications of this are not ...
Thoughts about A Clockwork Orange and why people would hate it
Within the book, the characters are normal 16 year olds, just with muderous tendencies. They act like 16 year olds, talk like 16 year olds, the violence happens almost accidentally, in the course of being bored. In the movie the characters sit and plot and plan what terrible things they'll do.
