Recommend Me A Book?


Question


Recommend Me A Book?
Can someone please recommend me a book similar to nineteen eighty four, animal farm or catch etc


Answer


A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess has a similar angle to a science fiction fantasised future setting that uses that future situation to explore the relationship between government power and individual will. It has a similar tone to Animal Farm or Catch sort of bright feeling, but laced all through with dark, dark humour and razorsharp irony. The theme of madness and sanity you find in Catch , and the extreme behaviour of some of the characters, also matches Catch . Its also been made into a film a brilliant dark comedy, at that, like Catch .brbrOne thing thats really fun about A Clockwork Orange is that its all written in Alex DeLarges speaking dialect. Its loaded with interesting slangs and rhythms and vocabulary you have to simply guess about at first, and it helps you to really get inside Alexs head.brbrFascinating, fascinating book. Cant believe I found it more intriguing than the movie, because its one of my favourite movies, but there you have it.
