I borrowed this from the Union library and gave up. The slang they use is insane and makes the reading so dense. Droogs, glazzies, yarbles, appy-Polly-loggy. Those are some of the words you have to learn, there’s pagesss in the back for translation. But I guess it was on purpose, since the entire book is about conditioning the brain. People say you can catch on after 15 pages or so, so I’ll give it a try again

Basically the author came up with his own slang to kinda embody the oddity of teenage slang and to show how to brain in conditioned to become accustomed to things. But there’s like over 200 distinct slang terms in the book
