A Clockwork Orange
In Anthony Burgess's influential nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, a teen who talks in a fantastically inventive slang that evocatively renders his and his friends' intense reaction against their society. Dazzling and transgressive, A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil and the meaning of human freedom. This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the first edition, and Burgess's introduction, "A Clockwork Orange Resucked."

Not an enjoyable read. Everything from the unlikeable protagonist's actions to the way he speaks make this a hard one to get through.
Okay. So this was a trip, and not a good one. The language was a struggle and felt a little overboard. The point of the book is that we have a choice of right or wrong and we can’t be forced to choose right…but then the third part happened and it was like the second part never happened…so I’m just totally confused. 217 pages of my life I’ll never get back…
