rnment has subjected him to. This writer believes that this method robs the recipient of freedom of choice and moral decision - therefore depriving him of being human at all. After Alex is in public for a while he is beaten and taken advantage of by many people. Alex eventually attempts suicide and the state is forced to admit that the therapy was a mistake and "cures" him again. When Alex saw that his old "droog" Pete was married and had a family he realized that his ultra-violent ways were wrong and decides to start a family of his own. This book is one that seems perplexing on the outside because it is riddled with such slang that no one is used to but once you get through one chapter you can get the gist of what the characters are saying. If the reader looks down into the deeper meaning of the text there is a lot to be said about it. How should people be reformed to fit into society? To what length should the government or anybody go to mold and form people to a particular norm or desired shape? From a review one would think this book to be simplistic but it is quite complex and very entertaining with the violence it seems to be a good thriller. All of these questions are raised in A Clockwork Orange. This makes it not only a thrilling page-turner but a thought-provoking novel also....
