A review by audiobook_addict
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

3.0

This was an interesting read. I've wanted to read this one for years, but never got around to it for one reason or another. I've heard it referenced in English lit, both in highschool and in college, but I just nevertook the time to read it for one reason or another. I'm glad I did. I gave it three stars for the simple fact it was an odd book and a bit dark in some areas, but overall not a bad read. I liked it a lot better than the movie, even though the movie was a Stanley Keubrik masterpiece, in it's own right, there was just some things he couldn't hit on in the movie that Mr Burgess brought to life so well. It's definitely a classic, if you like George Orwell, this one is definitely worth reading. I forget the narrator's name from Nls Bard, the braille and Audio Reading download that I get a lot of my books from, but it's the classic version on he does so well with the language, namely Nadsat, A made-up language Anthony Burgess created just for this book, that it flowed wonderfully. A fairly easy read, but I think I'm going to follow ip with some nonfiction something next unless something else catches my eye or I go back and finish some of my currently reading things here. Lol. Anyway, I recommend this for anybody looking for a classic, with just a bit of a different flavor. Good Friday morning yall.
