| Re: What Did You Just Finish? Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange
Splendid! Fantastic stuff. Grotesque at times. Disturbing, with the use of mangled English / Russian slang but eerily beautiful (phrases such as "horrorshow", "vidi" and "babooshka" made me smile). Ending was interesting aye, different to the movie. Quick enough read too, when you get used to the language (which isn't that difficult, especially if you've seen it). I liked the youth aspect of the novel that the film didn't pick up on. The governmental elections too was an interesting sub-plot. 7/8.
