A clockwork orange


I finally started reading the book i always wanted to read. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. Its really difficult for me to read for some reason, a lot of the book consists of old russian slang that is incorporated with the english text. This only makes it harder, even though i understand most of it, i wonder how others do it. Aside from that, the book seems very interesting, and is by far one of the best books i have read, even though Im not even close to finishing.

The End

I have finished reading the Old man and the Sea and I did enjoy it, but not as much as my previous book. I did like, however, the way the author showed that the fish was not needed just for the food or money; but to show that the old man is still a grat fisherman. Even though there was a trajic ending, where the sharks had eaten the fish, the old man did not give up on being a fisherman thanks to the boy. Overall it was a good book, and i would recommend this to anyone that is in the mood to read an exciting book.
