It was very weird to read the book full of slang words and terminology as secret code which is commonly used by teenagers in conversations between them. We must turn the pages we read to the Nadsat Dictionary section in the back of the book to find the meaning of the words, nevertheless it doesn't make confused, rather entertaining .
And that is the strongest creativity of the author in attaching the nature of teen boys with their wild imagination, and characterized as villain rebel in this story

A classic but an acquired taste.

This book was disturbing. It did not hold my interest though. The slang was a little over the top and that detracted a bit.
