So my independent reading book, I love it, and I don’t at
the same time. Like, I love the idea of the story and the plot, it’s a really
good idea. But I hate the main character Alex more than anything in the beginning
when he goes around beating, killing, and rapping people. I mean… come one, who
wouldn’t hate him? The only point in the story that I actually had any form of
an emotional attachment to Alex’s character was after the treatment that the
government gave him to make him less violent. I started off happy that he couldn’t
be violent thinking that maybe his life would turn around and we’d start to see
Alex become a good person and that he would be reprimanded for his earlier
actions. ( does reprimanded seem like the right word choice?) but nooooooooo, first
he just had to be so defenseless and pathetic that EVERY ONE from his past had
to beat the snot out of him. I felt so so so soooo bad for him when dim and bullyboy
beat him up. And when he returned to Mr. Alexander’s cottage? Oh my goodness I thought
that would be the end of Alex. But the thing I dis-liked most about this book
was the fact that Mr. Alexander drove Alex to attempt to commit suicide for
revenge (jerk), and the fact that everyone in the story was just so casual
about the fact that alex’s treatment had failed and they just switched him back
to his old normal violent self and sent him back out into society like I was
normal.
