Likes and Dislikes so far

So far, overall, I like A Clockwork Orange. It is told in first person and I like reading books told in first person because you get to see things from a characters perspective and you know what the character is thinking. Also, I like how the author uses slang in the book, because normally authors stay away from that. I like trying to figure out what these words mean, since it's an old book and I have never heard a lot of these words before. One thing I don't like about the author's vocabulary so far is that it is very repetetive. He uses the same words a lot, when there are lots of other words and adjectives he could be using. I also think the setting isn't very clear sometimes, but maybe that's because I can't understand some of the words he uses. Other than those two things, I am really enjoying the book and it is very engaging and hard to put down. The author describes the characters well and their personalities are interesting. It's an intriguing book because it's a futuristic society and I like reading books about what could happen in the future. I like how even though this book was written in 1963, it can still apply to us today.

  2. I also like reading so that you get the full perspective of the character, I feel like i get more out of the story than i normally would.
