Story: So I have to write an essay for my school about a book of my choice, (actually they gave us 10 books and told us to choose) naturally I took the one with the best sounding name as well as the best movie. I haven't seen it yet but from what I hear its incredible. I finished reading the book last night and it really astonished me how much work the author put into forming another way of speech (nadsat for those who have read the book) and the level of depth in the main charcter Alex.
So my question is, have you read the book and what is your opinion of it? And also, have any of you ever attempted writing a novel and if so, were you proud with the result?
I have read A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and I loved it better than the movie. I like how the book was more graphic than what happened in the movie. I mean the movie is good, and the acting was awesome for the time it was made. Honestly, I wish the extra chapter would've been included in the movie, but I guess that would have thrown off the tone of the ending.
