>>	Wohman Sun Mar 31 09:48:50 2019 No.12855578 Movie > Books. You can truly see Kubrick's genius when you read the book, and realize how terrible it is compared to the film.

I've read MANY books and I still think nothing quite comes close to the Clockwork Orange. As someone who speaks Russian and English, this was such an enjoyable read for me. The violence, the character, that love for classical music, it spoke to me on a personal level and I actually fell in love with Alex for days. I love how short it was and the use of language made it so fun.

I hated the movie because when I read the book I imagined everything completely differently. The movie seemed very modern and pretentious, whereas the book felt cozy and relatable.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 31 13:11:01 2019 No.12856472 Nadsat was fun. I enjoyed the book. >grew out of it murdering and raping last chapter was a mistake

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 31 13:39:22 2019 No.12856618 >>12855820 >Do you speak Russian? No but I did print out a translation for the russian words. Had a cool sound to it though
