Apparently he created a whole new language. It wasn't a slang. It's a language he created called Nadsat. I'm talking about A Clockwork Orange.
Reading barely 20 pages of it and I've learn more words that are not in the dictionary than I have in my life. A different language makes sense.
Saturday by Ian McEwan(author of Atonement) is pretty good too.I found the first half of the book pretty slow but once it took off it was really good.
It's about a day(a Saturday, duh) in the life of a neurosurgeon. The main topics were war, Huntington's disease, neurosurgery and poetry. These all tied in with family life.
Oh and it is a novel, not a biography. Ian McEwan isn't a neurosurgeon.
Wouldn't make my favourite books list, partly because I do not agree with some of his views on certain issues, but story's good. I'll give it a 4/5.
Now, maybe I should read Atonement. I think I'm the only person that has not read Atonement but has read his other works.
TY
