A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess Book Summary

One of Esquire's 50 Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time
“A brilliant novel.… [A] savage satire on the distortions of the single and collective minds.”—New York Times

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.”

Fantastic book!. A must read.

fantastic. better than the movie and if you can figure out the slang language then this will be your favorite book

A clockwork amazing. This book is truly a work of art. At first you feel hatred towards the acts of the young anti hero but later you learn to pity him and admire his honesty. You can not distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys here. A true work of art.

Awesome. Really enjoyed the movie and enjoyed the book just as much!

BOLSHY BOOK. I really enjoyed the book, but the Nadsat slang can get tiring at times. I understand it was needed, but would have appreciated less of it. Adding the Twenty-First chapter was a clincher for me, and tied the book together wonderfully. Given 4 Stars because for me it was too much slang.

Truly amazing book. This book is phenomenal. I finished it in 1 day! I highly recommend it for people 14 and up, the reason being some of the themes are inappropriate and there's a lot of Russian slang that not everyone can piece together what it means. Awesome book!!!

Great book!. I read this book in high school and I loved it. I couldn't put it down. I think I read it in like 2 days. This is certainly a great read for any who is enticed with violence. Alex, an already hardened juvenile menace, and his "droogs" terrorize the streets of future London, or what he calls some random "ultra-violence". He gets thrown in prison for murder. And to get out of prison he succumbs to a radical new treatment that is suppose to repress his appetite for violence. This is a book on self-determination of the mind, on human morality, and the corruptibility of society. Burgess covers up much of the gory detail through NADSAT, a language he created just for the book. So it might be a little difficult to understand. But you'll get the hang of it.

Very moving!. Difficult read, but rewarding. A valuable perspective on the human condition.

Complex. Although not the easiest read I enjoy a challenge. Great story.

Great!. Amazing story. If you've seen the movie and loved it, read the book and realize the movie does this story very little justice.

A Clockwork Orange. I viddied the movie first, many years ago. Was only 12, and saw it on Cinemax, being ignorant of the rich history that accompanies the tale. Didn't known until about three years later just how old the film actually was. For many years of my adult jeenzy, I wanted to viddy the book upon which the cine was based. Never did. It was only recently I was made aware that the book was short a chapter in the American version. Disappointing. So, I lucked out and viddied that the complete novel (with the missing 21st chapter ) was available through iBooks. So, out with the digital pretty polly I made, and bought it I did, relishing every slovo upon so doing. As I read the iBook, I was amazed at how largely faithful starry Kubrick had kept his cine to it. I could slooshy all the characters as I'd slooshied them in the film, and were playing out the dialogue in the cine of my mind. I also recognized some of the liberties that starry Kubrick took with his visual tour de force, and was appreciative of the differences, and how such scenes played out in the novel...as with any good novel upon which an equally good cine is based, this was such as viddying the like director's cut of the story in my mind. And I knew such lovely pictures. Anthony Burgess created a right grazhny, vonny world to place his Humble Narrator, and subject to not only the sinful pleasures that Alex would partake, but also the brutal brainwash that would turn him into an obsequious, helpless sheep, such as the type upon which once upon a time he fillied with. Reading this book was much like viddying the cine based upon it...with just a few more exploits of Alex and his droogies, and the sufferings he endured in his time in the staja, with the Ludovico treatment, and the aftermath. Quite the journey to expeience, viddying it in the ol' gulliver. All in all, a real horrorshow read. If you've viddied the movie, give the book a viddy. You'll love it. :) Your Humble Reviewer, Martok2112

Amazing. No joke this book is something else you easily get hooked from beginning to end Alex is a crazy little droog

Real horrorshow, my brothers. A modern classic; one of the best books ever written, in my opinion

Quite Horrorshow. There's no question, Clockwork is one of the best modern books today. It has an amazing story and the rare ability to make the reader connect with and root for an ultra-violent, murdering rapist. A must read for anyone who enjoys modern, more political literature. And all that cal.
