Hmmmm. I think the first thing you need to know about A Clockwork Orange is that it is definitely, undenaibly weird. Not only does the encoorporation of "Nadsat" (the language used by Alex and his friends) make it a lot more difficult to read, but the extent of dystopian ideas displayed in it are somewhat horrifying. It explores deep philosophies, such as - what makes a person good? If you are forced to make the right choice, does that make you a better person, even though you don't want to make it? Admittedly, I found this book very difficult to read, and had to keep reffering back to my "Nadsat" glossary. I did however, find this book worth reading and would recommend it if you have the patience to read it.
