A Clockwork Orange pre-reading discussion

[Marie]

For discussing A Clockwork Orange before we start reading. What expectations do you have? What are your concerns? What have you heard of the book? Etc.

This also means that there'll be no spoilers in this thread!

This has been on my to-read list for a log time. I saw the movie years ago and there are all sorts of intense psychological elements that I always thought would play out interestingly in text. Can't wait!

[Marie]

Never seen the move and never considered reading this. But that's what I'm here for, reading books that I wouldn't get to otherwise, so I'm excited to read this with you all!

[N.M.]

I've never seen the movie either although I've wanted too for years. Admittedly, I didn't know that it was originally a book for a long time.

I don't know what to expect from this one. I know that it's supposed to be brutal and that the Protagonist has a made-up language but that's all Im aware of. Im looking forward to reading it though.
