Overview

In Anthony Burgess's influential nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, a teen who talks in a fantastically inventive slang that evocatively renders his and his friends' intense reaction against their society. Dazzling and transgressive, A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil and the meaning of human freedom. This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the first edition, and Burgess's introduction, "A Clockwork Orange Resucked."

  • Wonderful Book

    Cristina G. - 4 years 11 months ago

    This is a wonderful book. I highly recommend for horror fans. Look up what the words mean on google though because it can be confusing if you don't know what they mean at first. #SpringPicks

  • A Treasure of Modern Fiction

    HPB S. - 5 years 8 months ago

    A challenging yet enthralling read focused on a rapidly changing world eerily similar to our own and on the individual's need to choose their own path

  • Good Read

    sarah H. - 5 years 9 months ago

    I really enjoyed some parts of this book. The book is separated into three different parts, my favorite parts was two and three. The only thing that is kind of annoying about the book is the book is written in Nadsat a form of language made up by the author so you have to print out a glossary to understand the book. #SummerReading

  • Wonderful descriptions and great world-building!

    HPB S. - 5 years 10 months ago

    This book certainly grew on me as I continued to read it! I decided to pick up the book after watching Kubrick's classic film and enjoyed the extra world-building and layers of cooky-ness. A great addition to your #SummerReading list!

  • Worth it

    Corinne M. - 5 years 11 months ago

    Great book in great condition. This was a very challenging read. The author study linguistics and created him own language. I would never have had the guts to pick it up and try reading it if not for Half Price Books. The price was too good to pass up and it was worth every challenging bit. Powerful message, amazing story. Recommend for all literary lovers out there.
