A CLOCKWORK ORANGE - Anthony Burgess



















This is a very difficult read because of Burgess's invented language he uses throughout.  I would have had no idea what was going on without having seen Kubrick's movie about twenty times.

The movie follows the book practically line for line and plus this edition has the real final chapter with Alex's seeing the error of his way i.e perhaps redemption.  This chapter was missing from U.S A edition for decades.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
