Orange Eaten: Dominates Herland

Upon concluding the novel A Clockwork Orange, I have come to the very non-shocking conclusion that is was a thousand times better than Herland. Clockwork was a phenomenal read as it was something I could actually connect with, rather than a terrible novel about an all woman society. I must reiterate my hatred for Charlotte Gilman’s novel. She may be one of the worst story creators in American literature history. Granted, I may be a little harsh on her work, but it just angers me that a book like that can get pushed through the publication process and haunt the bookshelves of America. If A Clockwork Orange and Herland were in a fight of literary prowess, it would be similar to me fighting Mike Tyson, before all the ear biting and what not. Take a look at this website of the worst books in American history. It is a mockery that Herland does not take the top two spots. I realize again that I am being incredibly mean, but I am livid about my hatred for this author. She may be a nice person at heart, but when it comes to an occupation, she should probably find something new. Anthony Burgess on the other hand, Clockwork’s creator, is a literary genius. We shall bow at his feet for his accomplishments in book world. He has taken a theory about the future and molded it into a thrilling tale of lost souls residing in an unsure world. In conclusion, I love Anthony Burgess and I despise Charlotte Gilman; thank you for your time.
