Book 49 A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

7/10 All seems a bit dated now. Burgess’s writing is clever but soul less I think. Obviously the imagery was and is iconic and the use of the slang language nadsat set the gangs apart and made this a unique novel. I did think that the theme of reform of a criminal by brainwashing has dated since the book was written over 40 years ago. I didn't really enjoy it.
