clockwork orange

I started reading clockwork orange today and I'm a third of the way through already because its riveting. Anthony Burgess has invented tonned of words and his own grammar structure so the first few pages are nothing but confusing but once I got the hang of the style I can see the brilliant-ness of his writing. It's incredibly violent but still a crafty piece which I'm enjoying - will keep you updated on my thoughts.

Aparently there's a movie of it produced by Stanley Kubrick - if you've seen it is it worth me watching? I can't work out how it could accurately replicate the book???
