Slightly disappointed
Okay, first off, to all the idiots who expected this to be the real book—it is CLEARLY described as a study guide. That's all I'll say about that.
I bought this to gain insight on A Clockwork Orange, but I found it a bit lacking. Perhaps it is the way everything is written in such a spoon-fed, obvious, beating-the-audience-over-the-head-with-its-themes manner. It would certainly help along the average reader in a normal, non-AP English course, but as I do take AP and am expected to express my ideas with a bit more originality and eloquence and less repetitiveness, Shmoop's book could only reinforce what I had already understood.
Let me restate my awareness that this is probably made for the average reader, and most will not want to trudge through a philosophical debate or such things, but some more substance would have been nice. Ignoring that particular nature of it, I'm sure someone else will find it immensely helpful.
Crap
The book is brilliant one of my personal favorites I just wish that shmoop wouldn't sully it's good name by advertising their company's name haphazardly on the cover which is neither original nor does it have anything to do with the book. Message to shmoop, stop advertising your crap company on the cover of one of the most brilliant and controversial books of out time, your an embarrassment to people who respect literature and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Crap indeed
I just wasted 3 bucks on this piece of trash! So much for the impulse buy. It does not contain the actual book.
