Review of A Clockwork Orange

For the second outside reading book, I chose A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. The style that it was written in was very confusing with the language used. Not all of it was written in English because many of the words had Slovik roots and some of the words were made up by Burgess. The story was very interesting once you got used to the language. It was about a teen named Alex that was up to no good with his gang. He got himself into a lot of trouble and ended up in prison. He was conditioned to be physically sick when exposed to violence. This was completely against his free will and he was forced to hate violence. The setting is not clearly stated but it feels like it is in a made up futuristic world. I thought that this book was very interesting once the language became easier to understand. I would recommend it to someone for their next outside reading book. It is not too long and the story itself is interesting. I am curious to see what the movie is like because I think it would be cool to compare it to what I imagined it to be in my head. I think it's all kind of strange and the trailer is very odd.
