I just finished reading "A Clockwork Orange". could I have picked a more intense book? I think not. so here's a quick review from Frankie.

author - anthony burgess
what happens - you can't really beat this as a premise: "fifteen year old Alex doesn't just like ultra-violence - he also enjoys rape, drugs, and Beethovens Ninth." lots of beatings and sexual misconduct take place until a stern psychologist steps in and ruins the party with a relatively disturbing treatment program. Makes the emotional and spiritual demise of Amy Winehouse look a bit like a 5 Go to Smugglers Top.

I would like to say that the book and movie are equally triumphant, but I haven't seen the movie.
