A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

A very fantastic book! The movie was very similar with not very many differences other than at the end (minor as they were). Since the two are so identical it was difficult for me to decide which medium I liked better. However, after given it some thought I'm going to go ahead and say I enjoy the novel more. At first the nadsat language used in the novel was a little diffucult to follow at first but once you got the hang of it, it was fairly easy. Plus, to help the readers, there was an Afterward proceeding the book with a homemade glossary for the nadsat language. Really a great tale by Anthony Burgess about free choice and free will. I know the movie turns a lot of people off with all of the violence but put in it's proper context, it really is a fascinating story. If you enjoyed the movie and were ever curious about reading the book, I'd say it's worth it!
