Title: A Brutal, But Excellent Novel
Review: "A Clockwork Orange" is a great read in numerous ways. First off, Burgess did a brilliant job with creating an invented language of the teens in the future-set society. At first, it is hard to follow and might be a little frustrating to some, but if you are patient, you will get used to it and realize how incredible it is. The novel also has a very important theme to it, which displays the importance of moral choice. The central character, Alex, is nothing but a clockwork orange (I'll leave it to you to figure out what that is by the end of the book). There are some that might argue that the novel is too violent, but the high level of violence is actually needed to strengthen both the setting (a future society filled with crime) and the theme. The movie was also good, but I enjoyed the book more.
