Or rather Alex and his three droogs tolchock an old veck, razrez his books, pull off his outer platties and take a malenky bit of cutter. For Alex's confessions are written in 'nadsat' - the teenage argot of a not-too-distant future.
Because of his delinquent excesses, Alex is jailed and made subject to 'Ludovico's Technique', a chilling experiment in Reclamation Treatment...
Horror farce? Social prophecy? Penetrating study of human choice between good and evil? A Clockwork Orange is all three, dazzling proof of Anthony Burgess's vast talents.

Over the three days it took me to read the story I was continually rewarded with a headache from trying to decipher its God awful slang system, having to Google some of the least used terms when I was just absolutely stuck. It makes the story unapproachable and unnecessary obtuse in flow when you're continually having to either Google what it means or go back and reread for context clues only to find out that Alex was talking about a knife, teeth, money, books, girls, and whatever else comes to text. The theme of nature vs conditioned behavior is nothing special whatsoever. Alex's violent nature makes him irredeemable so to posit that he is willing to turn his life around because he wants to have a kid after he sees one of his former droogs in a Café is just lazy and ridiculous. I don't get it. The opening scene of Kubrick's adaption is great though so there's one positive thing I can say about the text.
