Imagine

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
