"A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, I'm not - I believe we were recommended that book when we were in high school, also. I believe I was interested in it at first because I saw people wearing the t-shirts, and I would see the triangle with this guy's face; and it just seemed really weird and I didn't understand it.
A Clockwork Orange takes place in a futuristic Britain, a futuristic, bleak, Socialist Britain. I would definitely recommend it for someone in high school, definitely in college. I would think it was one of those things that you definitely have to read at one particular point of time. And one, just Alex's character, but then two, also basically the second half of the book and/or movie which gets into the states thing or trying to rehabilitate and how they're trying to rehabilitate, and whether it really does work and what is the end result going to be.
I would have to say overall I would give Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange five stars. The book has stuck with me my entire life. I've always looked on it fondly -"
