Advantages: Original

Disadvantages: Can make you feel sick at points.

Murder, Rape and Torture. This kind of life we all deny, this life we cannot believe exists, this is the life which we are drawn to experience.
Most of us all live lifes of great morals, so when we read a story about a boy with no morals we become intrigued by this unknown nature.
Burgess has written this story exceptionally well especially as he induces his own new dialect. This dialect makes the novel a lot more interesting to read and is very creative. This book raises an important issue also which is bordered around the punishment system and the ways in which to make prisoners rejoin society.
When I read this book I was stunned to find that it actually raised this issue and I believe this books is one of the many ones that I have read which I will always remember.
I would seriously recommend reading this book to anyone who enjoys literature.

I wanted to give this a useful, but realised you said it all, and pretty well, in less words. Concise and helpful
