This is not A Clockwork Orange,
By
This review is from: Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (Cambridge Film Handbooks) (Kindle Edition)
I was under the influence that this was A Clockwork Orange; however it is not by the time my kindle downloaded it, it was to late to cancel.
What I did get was an extremely short essay. Even if I knew what I was buying the shear lack of content would not be worth the $15.

This is not the book by Anthony Burgess...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (Cambridge Film Handbooks) (Kindle Edition)
Made the same mistake as the previous reviewer. I thought this was the actual book, and it is not. I'm sure, if you want to read an in-depth analysis of Stanley Kubrick and his making of the movie that was a translation of the book, that this is a fine piece of work. It is, however, not the actual book itself. Spent $9.99 on the wrong book...

5.0 out of 5 stars
get real,
This review is from: Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (Cambridge Film Handbooks) (Kindle Edition)
any one who knows anything about the book should know the title does not include the film makers name. the essay is good at what it does: film analysis. people need to pay more attention to what they do and perform a modicum of research.
