It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a like an angel and acts like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours, Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon, but this is only the beginning of Clary’s introduction into a world she never expected to exist
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
While we might not have heard about the author, but chances are that most have heard about the thrilling, dark novel “A Clockwork Orange”. A vicious fifteen-year-old is the main character of this classic, whose story was told in Stanley Kubrick’s film. In Anthony Burgess’s nightmare vision of the future, where criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly delivers his and his friends’ social pathology. “A Clockwork Orange” is a frightening story about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom.
