Summary: Beautiful Violence: Anyone else get a PIN?
Review: Anthony Burgess is a magical author when it comes to beautifing random violence. Through his intricate use of diction and syntax we are able to fully access each scene in all of its blood spilling beauty. He creates a world governed through an artillary of wild ideas and a government which is diseased through pure democracy, in the younger generation's eyes. Burgess makes you compare the ideas about today's villans with that of the future and certainly those of the past. Who would have guessed that a character like Alex could actually exist, and that there would be no regard for authority or goverance in this futuristic world. Even through the entire book Burgess makes you want to "ROOT" for Alex, despite his continous disregard for his parents, the law and the well-being of society! His use of creative and unique language not only kept my interest but inspired to write a piece using his language. Challenging and graceful all in one. There is no other book with such a spectrum of intelligence, irony and interest!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Read
Review: This book is a must-read for pre-teens looking for a direction in life. Plenty of interesting activities for teenagers are depicted.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: though some of the slang was hard to understand, the book was great. I had seen the movie, and the book was just one step up from the movie. I have the newer version with the last chapter, which wasn't in the movie either. I thought that the last chapter just finished the book.

A GREAT READ!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deeply Philosophical
Review: Its views on society are radical yet believeable; an excellent book with a powerful message.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Xopowo!
Review: I'm an author and English MA and am about to use this book as a text in my Intro to Literature class. Its strong writing style, quick pace, and social-commentary-between-the-lines made it a favorite for years. The slang, derived from Russian, also helped immensely when I took Russian 101.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book but biased
Review: enjoyable read,though i feel that alec's actions are glamourised and its consequences on his victims largely ignored.Freedom of choice is important,but isnt being held responsible for that choice equally if not more so?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Without words!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Real horrorshow book
Review: When i first started reading the book, the slang was intimidating and i thought i wasn't going to be able to understand it, but i got through that, and now i even use some of it. Anyway, i loved this book, and i loved the movie as well. I finished this book about 5 days ago and i just can't stop thinking about it. Once you get into this book, you won't want to put it down. Trust me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderfully Done!
Review: Mix some politics, science, violence and fear, whip in a little Belo-Russian and you get A Clockwork Orange. The story line is easy to pick up and you can get through the book in one sitting. Don't miss this one!
