more Pure crap. It's ultra-conservative, homo-phobic rhetoric, wrapped up by a very boring plot line, and lead by uninteresting characters. It is, however, brilliantly written. One thing Burgess has a brilliant penchant for is his beautiful and descriptive prose. And the commentary is sickening; he suggests that a positive outlook on homosexuality leads to a Communist dictatorship where everyone starves, and the dead are just viewed as oppertunties to produce a chemical! And in his contrasting views he refuses to aknowladge the possibility of a universal acceptance of all genders and sexualities. It was utterly horrible.
