This week I decided to read A Clockwork orange. I never read it before or saw the movie so I thought it would be interesting. The story was way more explicit than I thought it would be. Alex and his gang of young criminals lurk through this futuristic city and wreak havoc on the town. They steal cars, get in fights with other gangs, and even rape people. Once Alex went to jail, I found it hard to feel bad for him because everything he did in the past.
I really like the part when they start experimenting on Alex. This is the only scene that I had ever seen from the movie so it was interesting to put it into context. It almost reminds me of behavioral experiments people did in the 50s to "treat" mental illnesses.
I plan to finish the book soon and hopefully see the full movie.
