In my opinion clockwork orange is an appropriate book for a person of this age. I'm 20 years old and read his book when i was about 16 and it has remained one of my favourites ever since. Certainly the subject matter may seem a bit risque as it centres mainly around drugs, violence and sexual deviancy but a person of 14 is more than old enough to realise that the intent of the book is not to encourage this behaviour. In fact i believe anyone who argues that books, film or television cause bad behaviour are extremely ignorant and are merely looking for a scapegoat on which to blame societies ills.
The only stumbling block that may be faced when attempting to read the book at this age is the language as the writer invented much of the words used in the book. However most copies provide a dictionary at the end of the book and i found the language to be one of the best features of clockwork orange.
