Readers’ initial hatred for Alex turns into sympathy as he suffers from his new thought patterns.
After a burglary goes wrong, Alex is arrested and put into a program in which he’s brainwashed and made incapable of thinking a criminal thought. When the novel begins, Alex runs free with his gang, committing whatever crimes he wants, sometimes going to school, and speaking in NADSAT, a specific slang Burgess created for the novel. Without a doubt, Anthony Burgess’s best-known book, A Clockwork Orange, tells the story of Alex, a fifteen-year-old thief, rapist, and all-around despicable criminal.
A Clockwork Orange is Burgess’s best-known novel
