I absolutely loved this book. I must admit that I was really confused at the beginning of the book as there a certain language in place, created by the author. At first I thought there was something wrong with the book that I was reading.
Anyway I really appreciated the irony(the irony here should be in super BOLD) when the main character received judgement(so to say) for all his evil doings and even his musings at the end of the book about his growth. However make no mistake the main character is a horrible person, performing wicked crimes left and right.
I believe that the author preformed magnificent work by creating the world described in a Clockwork Orange.

Заводной апельсин
С каждым перечитыванием нравится мне всё больше.

Трепет намерения
Шпионский роман или пародия на него =) Шифры, разведчики, крымские кгбшники. Особо впечатлили сцены обжорства и разврата, яркие, изобилующие деталями, не побоюсь этого слова - эпичные. Не могу рекомендовать к обязательному прочтению, но для того, чтобы понять, каков Бёрджесс вне общеизвестного "Заводного апельсина" - хорошо.
