The story starts out in the Korova Milkbar, a milk-plus mesto, where Alex and his friends are drinking milk with knives in it. Soon after they are beating up a drunk and fighting Billy Boy and his gang of friends. Then, after stealing a car, they drive to the country and break into an old writer’s house where they proceed to beat him and rape his wife. After a dispute between Alex and his droogs, they attempt to break into the house of an old woman. After a scuffle leaving the old woman unconscious, Alex comes out of the house and finds his droogs waiting for him, ready to strike him down and leave him for the police. At the station, Young Alex learns that he actually killed the old woman and he is now sentenced to fourteen years in prison.

   After serving two years, he learns of the new Ludivico treatment and offers to be a test subject for it. Undergoing an intense routine of being injected with serum and forced to watch movies of sex, violence, torture, and what not, he is cured within a fortnight. Yet this ‘cured’ state allows him no choices in his life. Whenever violence, sex, or his favorite music (classical stuff like Beethoven, Mozart and Bach) confronts him, he is swept by an uncontrollable nausea that leaves him incapacitated. He then goes home to find all of his possessions sold, a new tenant living in his room, and his parents who kick him out when he comes back. While wandering the street looking for someplace to go, his enemies of the past confront him and proceed to give him the same treatment that he gave them so long ago. The police then come to his aid, but the two officers are Dim, one of his old droogs, and Billy Boy. They arrest him and take him out to the country where they begin to beat him senseless and leave him for dead. And as you know, he cannot fight back because he has been ‘cured’. Anyway, Alex then struggles to get to a nearby village, which concidently is the writer's house. After taking Alex in, the writer drugs him and locks him in a room that has been setup with a very loud stereo system. The writer then plays the Symphony Number Three of the Danish veck Otto Skadelig until Alex is driven to try and end his life by jumping out of the window.

   I found this book to be very, very interesting, I mean, I couldn’t put it down. I think that everyone with a strong stomach and heart should either read this book and/or watch the movie. The movie itself is a cult classic. This is one if the best books that you will ever read from a brilliant man who unfortunately passed away many years ago. Bog bless his soul. The whole Nadsat language that Anthony Burgess made up is just plain genius. It takes a little while to get used to the language at first, but then it gets to be part of the whole experience. I seriously think this is one of the greatest book I have ever read and I think that everyone should read this book.
