Why does everyone say this is so hard to read? Are you guys just so autistic that you can't understand context clues?

That's brilliant! I wish I had been clever or motivated enough to do something like that when I was in high school.

I was just too depressed. A real shame, because my English teachers were all excellent. I still feel ashamed about my poor performance, knowing I could have done so much better.

Story of my life, really.

As for OP: It's not hard to read. People are shit.

I love this book.

"Now all the cats were getting spoogy and running and jumping in a like cat-panic, and some were blaming each other, hitting out cat-tolchocks "

That line made my sides ascend

You understand from context after a couple of chapters it's just funny. Good book and the movie deserves an honorable mention Kubrick did a good job on it

This book is the evidence that a gimmick (the nadsat), when done well, can add a lot to the book

I don't care much for the message though
