In this 1962 classic, a novelistic exploration of modern crime and punishment, Alex is the 15-year-old leader of his gang of droogs thriving in the ultraviolent future as prophetically imagined by Burgess. Speaking a bizarre Russian-derived slang, Alex and his friends freely pillage and slash their way across a nightmarish urban landscape until Alex is captured by the judicial arm of the state. He then becomes their prized guinea pig in a scientific program to completely redeem him for society. If we had the power of absolute criminal reform, what, the novel asks, would this mean for our ideals of freedom and society? This edition reinstates the final chapter missing from Kubrick's film and from all American editions prior to 1987, in which Alex is on the verge of starting a family as he reflects on--and completely rejects--his adolescent nastiness. It also includes Burgess's introduction A Clockwork Orange Resucked.

Definitely Not a Bunch of "Cal"
This book is a great dark comedy. Using the language made up by the author, it is a little hard to understand during the first few chapters, but once you get past the slang you just can't put it down. It's unique writing style and satirical humor will keep you entertained, and the end will leave you really thinking about issues in the world today. A great find and a popular movie, the original book version of "A Clockwork Orange" has certainly lived up to the hype it created so long ago.

The book is better than the movie. The book actually has more of a plot. However the author made up words so it's hard to follow sometimes.

I think the book was different, it was a sad way of teaching someone to stop committing crime. I was disappointed that there was no glossary with the book to understand the Nadstat language, I had to look for that on the Internet. But overall, I liked the book. I have lent it onto another to read.
