Anthony Burgess' dystopian classic explores the brutal violence that humans are capable of - and how our choices, however flawed, are all we really have. It's also an unforgettable masterwork of language, as the narrator, Alex, and his droogs speak in slang that is somehow entirely novel and comprehensible at the same time.

The book is shocking, disturbing, entertaining, and unbelievably thought provoking all at once - no wonder Stanley Kubrick decided to turn the book into a movie (which is a must-watch classic in its own right). You'll never think about crime and punishment the same way again.

As always, no spoilers until the end when we get into the full plot explanation and discussion.
